the DXSpider software and are ready to install it. I am assuming
version 1.35 for this section but of course you would use the latest
version.

_\bs_\by_\bs_\bo_\bp. You can call it anything you wish. Depending on your security

+
+ Spider provides a simple BBS interface. No input is required from the
+ sysop of the cluster at all. The BBS simply sets the cluster as a BBS
+ and pushes any required mail to the cluster. No mail can flow from
+ Spider to the BBS, the interface is one-way.
+
+
+ Please be careful not to flood the cluster network with unnecessary
+ mail. Make sure you only send mail to the clusters that want it by
+ using the Forward.pl file very carefully.

+
+ Spider has a powerful and flexible show/satellite command. In order
+ for this to be accurate, the kepler data has to be updated regularly.
+ In general, this data is available as an email or via cluster mail.
+ Updating it is simple. First you need to export the mail message as a
+ file. You do this with the _\be_\bx_\bp_\bo_\br_\bt command from the cluster prompt as
+ the sysop. For example ...
+
+
+
+ export 5467 /spider/perl/keps.in
+
+
+ would export message number 5467 as a file called keps.in in the
+ /spider/perl directory.
+
+ Now login to a VT as sysop and cd /spider/perl. There is a command in
+ the perl directory called _\bc_\bo_\bn_\bv_\bk_\be_\bp_\bs_\b._\bp_\bl. All we need to do now is
+ convert the file like so ...
+
+
+
+ ./convkeps.pl keps.in
+
+
+
+
+ Now go back to the cluster and issue the command ...
+
+
+
+ load/keps
+
+
+
+
+ That is it! the kepler data has been updated.

Assuming you are connected to the Internet, you need to login to the
CVS repository and then update your Spider source. There are several
steps which are listed below ...
Now the magic part! From now on when you want to update, simply
connect to the Internet and then, as the user _\bs_\by_\bs_\bo_\bp ...

Create an 'accept this spot' line for a filter.
+
An accept filter line means that if the spot matches this filter it is
passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this
to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.
You can use any of the following things in this line:-
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
freq <range> eg: 0/30000 or hf or hf/cw or 6m,4m,2m
on <range> same as 'freq'
call <prefixes> eg: G,PA,HB9
+
For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined in
SHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -
thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -
some examples:-
- acc/spot 1 on hf/cw
- acc/spot 2 on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+
+ acc/spot 1 on hf/cw

- acc/spot 3 all
+
+ acc/spot 3 all
+
the default for nodes and users eg:-
- accept/spot db0sue-7 1 by_zone 14,15,16
- accept/spot node_default all
- set/hops node_default 10
- accept/spot user_default by G,M,2
