Hello all, CLX 4.01 up and running :-), thanks Ben , Franta.

That's what we have tested at the moment ( have a look at
ww convers channel 9000, there you will find most of CLX's nodes
sysops Talking about CLX relating things ).

At the moment have found that:

* Mail to nodes/users other than direct partner never are sent.
GB7MBC is brought to me via PE0MAR-11, if I send a personal
message to g0vgs, shown at configuration list, the node answers
with " message will be sent to g0vgs via gb7mbc ", Ok, node knows
where the user is connected, but after finishing the message I
ask for dir/node pe0mar-11, suppossed to be the one who will be
the bridge to gb7mbc node, and nothing at forward queue. Ask for
dir/node gb7mbc, and there is the message waitting for being sent.
Never sent, it remains there, ea7urc-5 expect a direct connection
from gb7mbc. CLX seems to create a queue directory for each node
shown at configuration if a personal mail is sent to one of their
users.

* Hops generated at ea7urc-5 are stiil sent with H1. The same as
with 4.00b, clx_par dx/# definition affect to user links spots
sent to direct partner, so if received an spot from an user link
and defined dx/4 at clx_par, this spot will be going to the direct
partner with H3 ( hop -1, don't know why )

* Cluster_par hops setting still haven't any control on Hops for
SECTION: <node>.

* Remote commands will only be answered by direct link partners,
other nodes brought to my config by this direct link will receive
the remote command but they seems to ignore it.

* help overview still showing 4.00 version features, not implemented
the new sh/dxstatistic or set/alarm on it. No problem, it can be
edited by hand here.

* sh/config looks different, there are few spaces till the first letter
of the node is shown, so appearance looks different, little bad for
tired eyes :-)
***before:
Node: Connected stations
ea7urc-5
ea7a-5-
pe0mar-11=
*** now
Nodes: Connected stations
ea7urc-5
ea7a-5-
pe0mar-11=
It seems to match calls from left to right instead of usual right to left.

* At README_401, suggested by Ian, g0vgs, it should say:
Shutdown your current CLX with clx -s, clx -x and leave postmaster
running
