However, there is also a second relay at relay2.reversebeacon.net 7000 - this
DOES seem to work OK with Win-Test.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

users connect to 'retail' clusters which take the feeds from the main RBN relays
and distribute out to the end users - that is a much more scaleable way of doing
things. If we all connect to the main RBN servers, they will be on their knees
again in the next major contest.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for fixing the script, but the issue we have now with <A
href="http://telnet.reversebeacon.net">telnet.reversebeacon.net</A> 7000 is that
we cannot connect to it with Win-Test any more. Win-Test supplies a
program called wtDxTelnet that is like the telnet program. It used to work
fine to connect to this node, but now it does not. The new server software
seems to require CR/LF sequence after every command. Before it would work
OK with just LF. So, we get prompted to login, enter a callsign, press
Enter, and nothing happens. You can see for yourself by downloading the
free program:</DIV>

<DIV>If I use a command line telnet program from Windows, it works fine.
We think that's because the command line program adds CR/LF after every
command, but wtDxTelnet only adds LF, which doesn't work any more, because
something changed at the server.</DIV>

<DIV>For reference, here's how to enable the telnet command line client on

<DIV>We had a script die on the server yesterday. Felipe has fixed it
and added an auto restart.</DIV>

<DIV>Regarding different behavior of the RBN's own Telnet servers, we have
been running pure relay servers on those two nodes since WPX CW. They do
not respond to user commands, but should handle much larger throughput without
problems. I have sent repeated e-mails to various reflectors trying to
explain this and suggesting that people connect to the many "retail" DX
clusters that now offer RBN spots if they want to run user filters, do sh/dx
commands, etc.</DIV>
