+ 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 "\$".

+ 5.1. Incoming telnets
+
+ If you want to enable inbound "TELNET" connections (or you are running
+ Windows 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:-
+
+
+
+
+
+ copy \spider\perl\Listeners.pm \spider\local
+ cd \spider\local
+ notepad listeners.pm
+
+
+
+
+ The following lines need attention:-
+
+
+
+ ["0.0.0.0", 7300],
+
+
+
+
+ On my machine, I've simply uncommented the "0.0.0.0" entry by removing
+ the '#' from the front of the line.
+
+ You MUST carry out this step if you are running on a Windows NT, 2000
+ or XP based system
+
+ 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 an amount of effort on your
+ part to read, understand and implement what needs to be done to set
+ this up.
+
+
+ If your machine is connected to the internet and 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 all IP addresses).
