Well, "TCPXX" no, "TCPIP", yes. "TCPXX" means an unauthenticated user on TCP/IP. TPCIP means an authenticated user on TCP/IP. The correct place to mess with gating is in nws-stations.txt. You can find references to it in the text docs or the online help from within Xastir (which is itself a text doc). As far as your friend gating you to RF, it's not a matter of you putting his station in your path. That doesn't work on TCP/IP, only on RF directly. > Corby Krick > K0SKW - Amateur Radio (General) I see you have a callsign, so you can enter your passcode (generated from your callsign) on the interface properties dialog for the TCP/IP interface to get authenticated on TCP/IP. If you've already done that, then your buddy would need to put your callsign in as a "gate-to-rf" station in order for you to be seen on RF. Normally the only things that get gated to RF are messages and message acknowledgements (ACK's). Those get gated to/fro automatically without having to add callsigns to each gate. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
