[FADCA] Re: New set of questions

[Chuck Hast]

I am adding the fadca list and the fpac  list as we are getting into areas
that we all need to see, and we may get some responses from the
FPAC guys over in France on some of this stuff.

If it is a FBB box it should have no problems, you may want to ask the
FPAC guys in France about this one.

no it is <~.> of course without the <> i.e. swigle stick dot

^c works just fine....

Yes, don't do  that better to take it a piece at a time then the whole
thing and have something bring it all to a screaching halt.

I will try it perhaps tonight. Also in you attempt to connect to me you need to
aim your end at 24.129.134.206 you should have the port set up as 10093
as per the axipd file.

We can try later on with me watching the system on that side and see if the
connection comes in. It it does we will just have to figure out how to deal with
the dhcp on your end.

They are continuous. It will set there and send updates and other stuff across
the link. It looks like a RF link to the system, and indeed the wp stuff  keeps
the links going when there is nothing going on.

I do not think so. Did you look at my files and see what I did.
