Hello Avon,

Av> OK so by the looks of it I need to become root and copy the
Av> pingpong.pm over to the same path here

That is where I have mine and it is working. The docs say to put it somewhere in the @INC path but I don't know what that means.

Av> In my case I have filter.pl in another directory

That may work also, I am not sure.

Av> This I will change but point to the location of the filter.pl I am
Av> using. Do I need to set execute privs for the filter.pl file? Guessing
Av> yes?

I am not sure. I made those files executible just to be on the safe side.

Av> OK thanks. I'll start small (which is my pref) and see if I can just
Av> build the filter.pl using the PING function first.

That is what I have done. I had a look at Deon's filter-route.pl also but it is over my head so we'll have to talk to him about making that work.

Al>> At this point your hpt will look for messages to ping when you
Al>> run hpt toss and reply to them.

Av> I'm on my way now, thanks... not sure if all the bits are in place but
Av> working on it. :)

Yes, those are the only steps I needed. You can send netmail to 21:4/106 addressed to ping to see if it works. I've done some testing in fido and it seems to work well but no testing in zone 21 yet.

I did make a small change as Stas suggested to add the PVT flag to netmail.

Ttyl :-),
