What makes you think you can? I took a quick look at the VE3SUN site and I didn't see anything about it including a Telnet server, just a client. Why don't you use VE7CC's software. It does work with DX4Win and it's free. -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net

My playbook is playing tricks on me so I'll try again from my desktop. VE7CC's software does not filter anything... it just provides a GUI to set up filters on the spot server. You can do the same with DX4Win my creating a macro file and invoking it with a macro key. The exact commands vary with
