+<P>to bring up an editor window containing the file. As an absolute
+minimum you must adjust the following items in DXVars.pm:-</P>
+<P>
+<UL>
+<LI> $mycall - Should hold the callsign of your DX Cluster</LI>
+<LI> $myname - The SysOp's first name</LI>
+<LI> $myalias - the SysOp's callsign. Cannot be the same as $mycall!</LI>
+<LI> $myqth - The station's geographical location (QTH).</LI>
+<LI> $mylatitude - The station latitude in degrees and decimal fractions</LI>
+<LI> $mylongitude - The station longitude in degrees and decimal fractions</LI>
+<LI> $mylocator - The Maidenhead (or QRA) locator of the station </LI>
+</UL>
+</P>
+<P>You really also ought to update the $myqth and $myemail variables. And
+unless you are absolutely certain you know what you're doing, you
+should change nothing else in this file. Note that if you use an "@" or
+a "$" character in one of the above strings (typically in $myemail) you must
+write them as "\@" or "\$". </P>

+<P>If you want to enable inbound "TELNET" connections (or you are running
+Windows 98, NT, 2000 or XP), you've got a little more work to do. From a
+handy "DOS box" that's not doing anything else, do the following:-</P>

+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>On my machine, I've simply uncommented the "0.0.0.0" entry by
+removing the '#' from the front of the line. </P>
+<P><B>You MUST carry out this step if you are
+running on a Windows 98, NT, 2000 or XP based system</B></P>
+<P>If you don't have a static hostname for your machine, and you
+intend to allow folk to connect to your machine across the
+internet, then I'd suggest you pay a visit to www.dyndns.org and
+create one for yourself. While it's free, it will take a modest
+amount of effort on your part to read, understand and
+implement what needs to be done to set this up.</P>
+
+<P>If your machine is connected to the internet <B>and</B> you don't
+want to allow your machine to be visible to the outside world you
+should change the "0.0.0.0" to "127.0.0.1" [which is
+"localhost"]. This will then only allow connections from inside your
+machine. As was said earlier: if you aren't running Win9x (or you want
+to use DXTelnet or somesuch), then you need to have the machine
+listening at least to "127.0.0.1" ("0.0.0.0" means <B>all</B> IP
+addresses).</P>
