+
+<P>From version 1.47 you can chose to allow the perl cluster.pl program to 
+allow connections direct (i.e. not via the <CODE>/spider/src/client</CODE>
+interface program). If you are using Windows then this is the only method

+<P>
+<P>to make the change happen...
+<P>
+<P>Having done that then you need to copy the file 
+<CODE>/spider/perl/Listeners.pm</CODE> to <CODE>/spider/local</CODE> and 
+then edit it. You will need to uncomment the line containing &quot;0.0.0.0&quot; 
+and select the correct port to listen on. So that it looks like this:-
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+@listen = (
+    ["0.0.0.0", 7300],
+);
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+<P>
+<P>As standard, the listener will listen on all interfaces simultaniously. If you require more
+control than this, you can specify each interface individually:-
+<P>
+<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
+<PRE>
+@listen = (
+    ["gb7baa.dxcluster.net", 7300],
+    ["44.131.16.2", 6300],
+);
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+<P>
+<P>This will only be successful if the IP addresses on each interface are static. 
+If you are using some kind of dynamic IP addressing then the 'default' method is the
+only one which will work.
+<P>
+<P>Restart the cluster.pl program to enable the listener.
+<P>
+<P>One important difference with the internal listener is that no echoing is done by the
+cluster program. Users will need to set 'local-echo' on in their telnet clients if 
+it isn't set automatically (as per the standards). Needless to say this will probably
+only apply to Windows users.

+  From version 1.47 you can chose to allow the perl cluster.pl program
+  to allow connections direct (i.e. not via the /spider/src/client
+  interface program). If you are using Windows then this is the only
+  method available of allowing incoming telnet connections.
+
+
+  To do this you need first to remove any line that you may previously
+  have set up in /etc/inetd.conf. Remember to:-
+
+
+
+       killall -HUP inetd
+
+
+
+
+
+  to make the change happen...
+
+
+  Having done that then you need to copy the file
+  /spider/perl/Listeners.pm to /spider/local and then edit it. You will
+  need to uncomment the line containing "0.0.0.0" and select the correct
+  port to listen on. So that it looks like this:-
+       @listen = (
+           ["0.0.0.0", 7300],
+       );
+
+
+
+
+
+  As standard, the listener will listen on all interfaces
+  simultaniously. If you require more control than this, you can specify
+  each interface individually:-
+
+
+
+       @listen = (
+           ["gb7baa.dxcluster.net", 7300],
+           ["44.131.16.2", 6300],
+       );
+
+
+
+
+
+  This will only be successful if the IP addresses on each interface are
+  static.  If you are using some kind of dynamic IP addressing then the
+  'default' method is the only one which will work.
+
+
+  Restart the cluster.pl program to enable the listener.
+
+
+  One important difference with the internal listener is that no echoing
+  is done by the cluster program. Users will need to set 'local-echo' on
+  in their telnet clients if it isn't set automatically (as per the
+  standards). Needless to say this will probably only apply to Windows
+  users.
