[FADCA] Telpac Nodes in Florida - Update

[Russell Oder]

My N4KOX-3 was set to refresh every 15 minutes. I don't think I have changed 
it.  That is quite often, but I was trying to see if it was keeping current.

My N4KOX-4 is showing red as it is on my laptop right now as I could not get 
the desktop I was going to use to work correctly.

So you have your Gateway running in LINUX. Mine are still in Windows *-3 
Windows 98  -4 on a XP laptop and hopefully soon a Windows 2000 desktop.

I talked to Chuck this week when I was in Tampa about LINUX but he was on 
his job out of town so we did not get a chance to put one of my computers on 
LINUX.

I am not sure about the windows TelPac, but the Linux one does not update
automagicly, you need to set a timer in crontab, charlie caught mine, I was
not updating it fast enough. Looks like it needs to be updated a bit faster
than evey 12 hours. Mine is now set to update every 8 hours and it stays
green all the time.
