See the sample configs for how it works.
Thanks for the response. I thought I was on the right track with rlm_udp.conf but reading closer, it seems not. In the use I envision, only music would be played and I don't see ever having a NULL now or next, so I am not sure after looking at what you point to how I can do this. Am I just being a bit dense? If it requires editing nownext.cpp and recompiling, I think it would be better to seek an external fix... so far my head does not seem to want to wrap around what such a fix would be... > > Cheers! all the best, drew > > |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| > | Frederick F.
