Hi Bob et al
I've been experimenting connecting NA to a DXCluster node
using Telnet - K1TTT's WinTelnetX 4.11
The configuration below works successfully for NA 10.54, so
I guess should be OK for NA 10.55, which I have not had time
to try yet. I'm using 2 PCs networked with NA, and a third PC
running WinTelnetX under W98. For simplicity the set-up
below uses COM1 on the Windows PC, and COM1 on one of the
networked NA PCs. The DXCluster node I use (GB7BIG) is
running AR-Cluster software.
---------------------------------------
Connect together the COM ports on the 2 PCs (1 x NA PC
and 1 x WinTelnetX PC) using a serial cable where pin2 at one end
connects to pin3 at the other end and vice versa.

NA 10.54
Under 'Config', select f4 Serial Port Setup :

COM1 3F8 9600 TNC 4
Select f5 Equipment Configuration :

--------------------------------------------
Hope this helps anyone who's trying to do the
same thing - the advantage of this over DXTelnet
is that only 2 pieces of software are running.
