To quote what is probably the most comprenhsive source of DX Cluster related + information, the DX PacketCluster WebNet, + a Cluster is:- + +
One station is set up with PacketCluster and is linked to one or + more other stations who have installed the software. These nodes + when connected are called a cluster. Clusters are connected to + clusters, expanding the network. Individual users connect to the + nodes on a frequency different from what the node stations are + linked on. Users are capable of announcing DX spots and related + announcements, send personal talk messages, send and receive + mail messages, search and retrive archived data, and access data + from information databases among its many features. + +
It's a rather specialised (and not as robust) form of IRC really. + +
The original package runs under DOS and was created by Dick Newell AK1A + but is no longer under active development. Most replacements also run under + DOS and/or are closed source. I wanted something in open source (so I don't + have to do all the work) and for Linux. + +
This document will contain all the instructions for its + installation and use - eventually... + +
