Hi Glenn, et al,
I still can't get on line with A1.66.
I made changes you recommended to arachne.cfg. Core 1.64
still works fine but when I use core 1.66 epppd doesn't
seem able to load the packet. Can you send the URL to get
epppdd. IIUC epppdd is a diagnostic version which will send
some error messages to the screen ? Maybe I will be able to
figure this out then.
Thanks for your help,
Eric
