<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently installed a RF based DX Cluster using DX
Spider v1.51 build 57.155 on a WIN98 platform. This is RF only via Pacomm
Tiny-two TNC to a 2M radio, There is NO Internet access to the system
on-site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wish to port in Internet DX Spots from a cluster
user who has Internet access. The problem I have run into thus far is the
WintelnetX program adds an illegal character (a '/') into the translated
protocol coming from the Internet site - the 'spot' comes over as 'DX/Callsign
Freq Comment' which DX Spider interprets via the TNC as an illegal
command. Cannot find a work-around for WintelnetX. I am not aware of
other 'Internet to TNC' translation programs that do not impose this illegal
character in the translation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For those of you who may be running a RF based DX
Cluster such as what I have described, do you have a 'patch' program to port in
DX Spots from Internet via RF to DX Spider with the proper protocol (i.e. no
illegal characters in the tranlated spot) that you've demonstrated with DX
Spider that you can recommend?</FONT></DIV>
