Hello Robert,

On Tuesday March 13 2012 17:17, you wrote to me:

RW> (To the original poster.) So what about Internet Rex isn't functioning
RW> for you?

1) It occasionally crashes when a specific node or some specific nodes call in.
Roy can confirm that, as his system used to crash when I called him.

2) When entering a new node in the node manager it reads the nodelist, But it
only finds the host name if it is in the system name field. It does not find it
when the host name is a parameter after the protocol flag or the INA flag.

3) A parameter after a protocol flag is always interpreted as a port number.
Even if it clearly is not.

4) When no host name is in the system name field, it will try the
f.n.z.fidonet.net method. This is not overridable and the domain is not
configurable.

5) When the nodelist is updated, it will not update the data in the node
manager. This is particularly annoying when a host name or IP address changes.
6) It will not send an attached file when the crash bit of the message is set,
unless the message is empty.

7) When evaluating the Tzy flags, it uses local time instead of UTC.

8) No IPv6

RW>  I paid for a fulling functioning product and it is working

I also paid for the full version (1000 nodes, all OS's) and it is NOT working
to satisfaction for me,

We have been through all that YEARS ago.

RW> (To the original poster) Let's see, perhaps he is waiting for everyday
RW> life to grant him some time do work on the program some more?

I have been waiting for a decade, my patience has run out.

>> So, are you going to tell Charles?

RW> I'd like to hear his response :)

Don't hold your breath.

Cheers, Michiel
