+<P>You can check which nodes are connected in the network, who is 
+logged on locally, who is logged on at all the nodes or even 
+just one node in particular. This is handy if you wish to see whether
+a friend is connected at the node they use.  To see who is connected 
+to the nodes, the <B>SHOW/CONFIGURATION</B> command is used.

+<P>The first of our three examples would output something like this,

+<P>You will notice that EI5TCR is showing only that it has 7 users and not
+giving the actual callsigns.  This means that this node is on a limited
+protocol of some kind, probably because of a contest situation where
+slow radio links can block up and fail if too much information is sent
+between nodes.
+<P>The second example would just show the nodes connected in the
+network, like this,

+<P>As you can see, only the users of the requested node are shown.
+<P>You can also use a prefix to show only a group of nodes.  For example
+you may only wish to see who is connected to the nodes in the UK.  To
+do this simply use a prefix like this ...
