Ratflector?<BR><BR>Regards, James Deuel, N0XIA <BR><BR><BR> <BR>> Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 07:50:48 -0800<BR>> From: dsmith@danplanet.com<BR>> To: drats_users@lists.danplanet.com<BR>> Subject: Re: [drats_users] D-RATS Public Gateway<BR>> <BR>> > I've set up a copy of the D-RATS proxy on one of my external machines.<BR>> > We're going to try having a publicly-available proxy running all the<BR>> > time for easy testing and training, if people are interested.

As a result, various things seem to be able<BR>> to hang it up. It's not load, but I'm not sure what it is.
