First to thanks for fine code.. works very well on my unix system,
However i have noticed one small problem which seems to be constant

from the convers.conf file
hostname
host host:3600

which will make the Linux kernel (net-2) to make a tcpip connect to the
host named in the convers.conf :3600 being the port number..
Over slow links via my router (wnos) the conversd program  appears to hand up
untill the perm link is established once established any other logins to the
conversd works fine...
Also i have noticed that perm links between conversd hosts dont work if
the sym linked copies of the conversd ie kaconversd wconversd lconversd
are also started, this does work fine if the ka.. l.. w.. conversd bin's
are real and not sym links as made by the make install process.

I can say for unix - linux users WW should try this code out Its nice
again thanks to Fred DC6IQ for takeing the timeout to write it.
