[Dx4win] Connection via Internet

[Franki - ON5ZO]

Do the following...

1.In your folder "program files\dx4w503\save" there is a file
called "dx4win.tcp", open this file with a simple ASCII editor
like Windows' Notepad, and copy-paste the whole list underneath
of Telnet-clusters in that file, save it and move on to step 2.
The dx4win.tcp file contains the name of the Telnet-cluster with
it's address and ports to connect to. The the ones I used mostly
are placed on top of the list (default position):

HB9OK,195.190.168.142:41112

step2:
go to file>preferences>packet 1  and make surre these settings
are like this:

Type = regular
COM port = TCP/IP

Other settings are optional, try and experiment, same with the
settings in "file>preferences>packet 1"

Step3:
By now, you should have 2 extra windows, called "DX spots ...."
and "Packet Window". Go to the "Packet Window" and click on the
right mouse button, and choose "internet connection" (3rd from
below). A new window opens, called "select internet address",
where you find all the information from the TCP-file you edited
in step1. Choose the cluster you want to connect to and click
"ok" button...


The rest will go automatically. I don't know if I forgot
something, but it works FB here! Oh yeah, you must have an open
internet connection that allows the use of telnet. But I am NOT
an expert on tihs.

Good luck, hope it works, have fun!
