Hi Garry:

There are two steps that you have to take that I don't see in your writeup.
My apologies if you have done this and didn't mention it.

First, in Skimmer, you have to activate the Packet Cluster server. Under
the "Telnet" tab, select "Enable Telnet Server" and accept the default
Port 7300.

See http://www.dxatlas.com/CwSkimmer/Files/Skimmerintro.pdf

Somewhere, you have to tell N1MM Logger.
N1MM Logger needs “Skimmer 127.0.0.1:7300”

Do this under the "Hardware" tab in configurer.  Use Edit to add
a cluster named "Skimmer" with "127.0.0.1:7300".

Section 6.3 of the N1MM Manual:
6.3 Setup packet/telnet
We need spots to fill the bandmaps so the next thing to do is connect to a 
DX cluster. This can be done in the Configurer under the hardware tab 
for telnet and packet. For telnet a Internet connection is needed. The telnet 
cluster to connect can be (also) selected, yes again in the Configurer under 
the hardware tab.
· Go to the Configurer and select the hardware tab.
· Select at the bottom a telnet cluster. AB5K is default selected (AB5K) 
and works fine.Select the 'Telnet' tab on the Packet Window.
Cluster commands can be given here, the information from the cluster is shown in the
window.
¨ 
¨ See the Packet window for commands, info etc.
¨ Connecting a Telnet cluster is usually done by sending your callsign.
¨ When everything works fine, spots should appear in the bandmaps.

Hope this helps.

Mark, KD4D
