The LAT is mostly for incoming stuff, mainly a captive account on CHIMPY.

It causes connections to be dropped if connecting to RSX (for example). And when they are dropped, some bug in the RSX LAT code is triggered, causing the buffers to be lost forever, meaning you run out of memory after a while if you use the Linux LAT package towards RSX.

Well I /was/ running Scientific Linux, so that could explain it. ;) Someone really needs to pick it up and continue its maintenance. I'd do it if I had some time and knew the protocols better. There really is a need. Yeah, maybe i'll bother some friends with protocol documentation and see if they're interested in picking it up. They probably wouldn't be interested though. :( -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project.

HECnet mapping project

For the bridge connections I don't see that we have a lot of choice so we'll have to think on that when we get it. This is not bridge-specific. It's anything ethernet-like.

Bridge to update down?

by sampsa＠mac.com

Ignore the bridge request, figured it out. Nodelist additions would be lovely though. smapsa On 27 Dec 2012, at 19:10, sampsa at mac.com wrote: Johnny, Tried everything, rebooted the router, reset the forwards, bounce bridge like 3 times, but no luck. Any chance you can bounce your bridge? Oh and add the following nodes when you get the chance: 8.100 PPVX01 8.101 PPVX02 8.102 PPVX03 Sampsa On 27 Dec 2012, at 18:42, sampsa at mac.com wrote: router bounce time.
