NAME

       flexd.conf - flexd configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       flexd.conf file is read by flexd at program startup and is used to modify the behaviour of the robot.

       The  lines within flexd.conf must either be a comment line, which starts with a # in the first column, or
       one of the commands listed below. Commands and arguments are delimited  by  white  space.  Arguments  can
       contain white space if they are enclosed in double quotes. Also C-style escapes (\n, \x0A, \012 etc.) are
       parsed within double quotes.

       Available configuration commands are:

       MyCall    <xx#xx>
                     Sets  up  the  callsign  AND  ssid  you wish to use to connect to your flexnet neighbor for
                     destinations import. Do NOT use an ssid of your ax25 interface which you'll be polling from
                     as you may create a loop between  your  system  and  the  flexnet  neighbor.   An  example:
                     MyCall  kb1uuu-13

       PollInterval   <time/secs>
                     This  string  tells  the  robot how many times in SECONDS to poll your flexnet neighbor and
                     import their destination table. In my production environment 300 (or 5 minutes)  seemed  to
                     be fine. I would NOT go below 180 (3 minutes) as you may create more traffic than needed.

       FlexGate  <xx#xx-##>
                     This  is  the callsign of your flexnet neighbor. The robot will read this callsign-ssid and
                     attempt a connect to it every ## minutes assigned in PollInterval <time/mins>. Be sure  you
                     do  NOT  configure  it to connect to a service linked within the flexnet neighbor such as a
                     BBS! You will NOT receive any destinations to your system that way and the BBS  will  think
                     you're attempting a feed.

                     Also  note:  your FlexNet destination host *must* reside in your uronode.route file or else
                     flexd will *not* know the path where to connect and the robot will exit.
