  • sqafix query, hope I'm not off topic here

    From Richard Webb@1:116/901 to All on Monday, May 28, 2007 19:29:29
    Hello All!

    GOt a couple of questions that have come up while configuring sqafix v. 0.99 on
    my system.

    IF I'm not topical to this echo please respond via routed netmail, and my apologies to advance to the moderator.

    Main question: YOu can optionally (as I understand it) have an external message creation utility build messages to your uplink. HOwever I"m not seeing
    anywhere that you define the filename to build the text of the request from. AS
    I understand it, the filename that can be defined in the Uplink keyword is for a list of areatag masks available from that uplink. Am I misunderstanding the examples in the config? dOcs are rather cryptic in some areas.

    Thanks,



    Regards,
    Richard

    Beats me. I've been procrastinating SqaFix for more than 32 months.

    Must be those Russians writing the docs again.

    Yah but i want to feed some power points and join another net, so getting areafix is a must. ESpecially since I"m going to offer to feed anybody else continental U.S. who's cM and only has a pots mailer soon.

    I think I"ll just let sqafix generate its message to uplinks itself and forget the external route. THInk I"m getting it mostly figured out, and later this week we test it with a robot and a test point. IF the docs weren't so darned cryptic it's feature rich and will do just about anything I need.

    CAn't compalin too bad, after all English isn't the author's first language.



    Regards,

    Good luck. Because I might need your SqaFix expertise one day.
