   Hello Robert,   
      
   On Tuesday March 13 2012 17:17, you wrote to me:   
      
    RW> (To the original poster.) So what about Internet Rex isn't functioning   
    RW> for you?   
      
   1) It occasionally crashes when a specific node or some specific nodes call   
   in. Roy can confirm that, as his system used to crash when I called him.   
      
   2) When entering a new node in the node manager it reads the nodelist, But it   
   only finds the host name if it is in the system name field. It does not find   
   it when the host name is a parameter after the protocol flag or the INA flag.   
      
   3) A parameter after a protocol flag is always interpreted as a port number.   
   Even if it clearly is not.   
      
   4) When no host name is in the system name field, it will try the   
   f.n.z.fidonet.net method. This is not overridable and the domain is not   
   configurable.   
      
   5) When the nodelist is updated, it will not update the data in the node   
   manager. This is particularly annoying when a host name or IP address changes.   
   6) It will not send an attached file when the crash bit of the message is set,   
   unless the message is empty.   
      
   7) When evaluating the Tzy flags, it uses local time instead of UTC.   
      
   8) No IPv6   
      
    RW>  I paid for a fulling functioning product and it is working   
    RW> perfectly for me.   
      
   I also paid for the full version (1000 nodes, all OS's) and it is NOT working   
   to satisfaction for me,   
      
    RW> If you are having issues with Internet Rex, Anthony, then perhaps you   
    RW> could post your issue/question here and I am sure someone here would   
    RW> be more than happy to help you out.   
      
   We have been through all that YEARS ago.   
      
    >>> It shouldn't be a big deal to recompile irex on a newer distro, not   
    >>> sure what he is waiting for.   
      
    RW> (To the original poster) Let's see, perhaps he is waiting for everyday   
    RW> life to grant him some time do work on the program some more?   
      
   I have been waiting for a decade, my patience has run out.   
      
    >> So, are you going to tell Charles?   
      
    RW> I'd like to hear his response :)   
      
   Don't hold your breath.   
      
   Cheers, Michiel
