  • Tossing Incoming Packets

    From Patch@11:1/102 to All on Sun Apr 14 18:22:53 2024
    Can someone tell me how I can toss the network packets when they arrive? In
    my configured network folder (Debian) I have 'in-171xxxxxx' which I remember
    is an incoming network packet, but not completely sure how to setup the
    script to process it all.

    I'm sure that it's something simple ... just not recalling it. Any help at
    all is appreciated.

    I know Windows is not the same, but I have mine run via the task scheduler so it's not real-time.

    Perhaps similar?

    My batch file is as follows:

    CALL NETWORK1
    CALL NETWORK2
    CALL NETWORK /N1 .0
    NETWORK /N1 .0 --v=3
    CALL NETWORK /N2 .1
    REM CALL NETWORK /N32767 .2 /A /P707-585-NEWS /S57600 /T993228415 .2
    CALL NETWORK1
    CALL NETWORK2
    CALL BBS.EXE /N10 /E

    I can't recall why I started calling network1 & 2 twice though... Oh! Maybe to process any pending packets after polling?

    I suppose you could find a tool for Linux that watches your folder for the creation of the files and toss them when seen?
