Thats what I remember for a bug fix, use the IP instead of the domain
name.

That is the way to make irex to work to polling on irex
linux version.
From my experience, this problem is often a corrupted exe or *.rex file. R
rexcfgw (or rexcfg) and open then close each item on the list (This rewrit the rex and dat files). Copy a new version of the exe into place - with lu that will be the end of the problem!
I started having this issue when I attempted to upgrade from debian
3.0 to a newer distro.
What information do you need to get this problem debugged and fixed?

Say.. question. Why don't you just use the Win version?

real sweet to me. I think that if these software authors
For me irex does not work on anything newer then 3.0 for debian.
In my opinion, I think it needs a new recompile on a newer distro
because of the updated libs.
Hello Kevin, I do use the windows version of iREX, on this system. Anthony is running Mystic BBS v1.10a09 (Linux) and also payed good money in the past. He has recently returned to fidonet, (same as me) but has not had time to add all of the echo yet. That is why he is posting on my board. Sysop's are users also... at least some are. I told Anthony, that if he could not get the iREX (Linux) updated {fixed}. That i've been looking at Dbridge that supports Binkd and it looks real sweet to me. I think that if these software authors that don't mined talking peoples money and support their product should just fell to the way-side. Mark it down as a loss and move on to something else. Take care...
With newer kernels, 2.31 and lower will not resolve domain names properly trying to connect via binkp. However, if you use the IP address of the re binkp system instead, it will connect just fine. I doubt Charles Cruden w ever update Internet Rex past version 2.31. There is a 2.67 beta availabl us beta testers, but I believe it suffers from the same illness in the lin version.
Hello Robert, I wasn't aware of the newer beta version. Thanks for the info, and ill past it on to Anthony Rico @ 1:267/152 if he missed this
echo thread. Nice to see you still around after all these years. Have a great 2012 and beyond.
running a BBS is in my blood and I doubt I will ever give it up :)

I've been seeing similar issues so what I've created is a Debian v3 virtual
machine in order to run it, using [1] (from [2]) as the source for the install, on a system with KVM capable hardware. (Used virt-manager on a Debian v7 host system.)
The VM is installed on a 1 gig 'harddrive', which is partitioned into a root
and a swap partition. The installation, so far, is only taking up 127M so I've plenty of room to to experiment... (And if needed, it would be easy enough to add more...)
In my opinion, I think it needs a new recompile on a newer distro

That would be a good idea but I understand that the author no longer has the
source code...

So the story goes. He has never come out and said so.
Charles confirmed to me that he still DOES have the source. This wa done in a voice phone call about other matters a couple of years ago. He say that he simply doesn't have more time to work with it as life has interrupted his plans to do so. I didn't push him on the matter.
Is there a means if you registered IREX to get in contact with
charles?
He may just need to do a simple compile and not even change anything
which should be really quick.

I think he still earns a little money with it...
When it came to my registration questions, a quick email to him did wonders. I believe that his email address is in the IREX
documentation.

Are you telling us that you actually registered and PAYED for a product that had no support in over a decade?
What I do have a problem with is that he sits on the source. Assuming he s has it of course. Many programmers who lost interest and left Fidonet have released the source of their product into the public domain. Golded and Fm come to mind. That way their products live on and benefit the Fidonet community.
But Charles just sits on it. :-(
However, on another message network someone recently claimed that they had just paid (within a month or so) for IREX and received a response and a key. *If* that is true, to me its fraud and it needs to be stopped.

He needs to release it, or work on it (if he really is still taking peoples money). Or we need to start a project to replace it (open sourced).
I have an open sourced framework that when combined with Argus or something could recreate IREX and then some with only a little group effort from programmers.
No, just you and the seller. I for one am not happy at all. And I assume t goes for many like me who paid for a fully functional product over a decad ago.

Um, I believe that was me, and if I need to forward a copy of my receipt f BMT Micro as well as a copy of my CC statement, then I will. I don't appreciate the insinuation that you are leading up to here.
Some people stated (unless I am misunderstanding) that they paid
for the 1000 node Linux version, got the key, and the software does
not even execute on Linux.
no... the problem is that it cannot perform domain name lookups
because it uses an old method that is no longer supported by the newer libs... it works just fine with IP numbers, though... especially since there is no DNS lookup for them ;)

I heard from Charles himself the other day. According to him, IREX development is "on hiatus" (his words) while everyday life does not
afford him the time to continue development for now.

That workaround works only for static IP numbers. Many - if not most - nod are on a dynamic IP.
(To the original poster.) So what about Internet Rex isn't

true but it does work for them as well... one just needs to update the entry in IREX before attempting the connect... yes, a PITA but a possibility...
I think that was an earlier version, since it hasn't happened since
the time your log-in here crashed the system.
Correct.
It can be user (sysop) written in binkp to use anything but the fnz.fidonet.net addressing system.
[Version update]
Same here.

That's probably a nice workaround for you. However, 'Choice' isn't recognized by W2k as an internal or external command or operable
program.

Starting with the August event of 2011, I began to add new nodes to
Rex node-manager as they came online here. I'm also attempting to get Fidonet back to San Antonio and have added a new node to net387 just a
few weeks ago. There's an older node in San Marcos, just 14 miles up
the road from here that is listed in the Austin network, but he lives closer to me.
The same here...maybe D'B if it can quote properly by the time I get

are installed on a given system.
Yes, and that was the version that crashed here.

Other than it has the quoting problem discussed elsewhere and it may

able to overlook that quoting issue.
I h ave been running 2.31 for quite a while now.
What I find irritating about Irex is the fact that it will NOT do a nodelist lookup if I send to a specific node, not in its own nodelist.
I seem to recall that it was supposed to do so

I came across that when setting up Irex to act more like a hub...I found a fix for it, but don't remember what it was. At any rate, Rex will use the nodelist to send mail, at least it does here.

If all else fails, Rex will also use your route.rex file to send mail to a non-Rex configured system listed there as crash-to. i.e. I have crash-to
the Z1 Fnews editor in the route.rex file and no Irex node configuration entered for the 1:1/1 nodelisting. You may or may not have noticed that in the very first config section of Rex, you can choose to send mail to 'nodelisted systems only' or send mail to unlisted systems. Check that setting and you may have solved your nodelist usage problem.

If there are any, they are miniscule. I wonder it if was actually a

Who knows. Only Charles can tell, but he prefers to be silent.

Make sure you have the proper compiled nodelist path entered correctly,
make sure that it is a compiled nodelist that is the same as what you have Irex 'set up frontend' set to use. I use Front Door up to 2.2 as my front end and a GoldEd nodelist compiler (Irex is compatible with both).

I used Intermail, and still have it, It compiles the nodelist using
a batch file automatically when it arrives, after applying the diff
of course <G> and yes, Irex knows where that nodelist is located.
Then you shouldn't have a problem with Irex using the nodelist. I can't count the number of times that Irex has popped it's little head up and
told me that the current nodelist is 'out of date', which it usually is here. I use that as a reminder to go find a current nodelist to compile.

so you've always updated your nodelist each and every friday? roy has
stated pretty plainly that he doesn't...
Dunno what to tell you, Joe. I've been using it for that long too and have no problem with Irex finding AND using the nodelist. When I enter a new
node in the Node Manager, it always wants to use the nodelist entry to config the node entry in Irex. Unfortunately, it always enters the fzn.fidonet.org (?) crappola. Which is basically useless.

That situation can be changed by adding such a node to the node
manager. With a registered Irex 50 node limit, easily done.
