Hi Bob,

I forgot to inform that I don't have direct connection to any node
capable of
TCP/IP so I must go there over FlexNet node. The remote TCPIP node very
good
accessible but I have to 'jump' over about 4 nodes.
How to configure this.

+--------------+ +---------+ +----------------+
| OK1FWG | | OK0NH | | OK0NAG |
| 44.177.32.34 |----->| FlexNet |.......... ......| 44.177.230.254 |
+--------------+ +---------+ +----------------+

The same problem (with the QST) I have in Tnos also. Before switching to
Linux I used WNos under DOS and it worked fine for me.

Thank's for help

Willi, OK1FWG
