Hello All!

I notice that there are 2 or 3 systems that poll 2:25/21.

There is NO NEED to do so as your system will NEVER but never, receive any
traffic - ECHO's or FILES.

Please stop polling as all transient traffic for both files and echo's is sent
direct only to 2:250/1 for onwards transmission to all downlinks that are
connected for each.

The system at 2:25/21 is a very basic computer based around a Raspberry Pi 3B+
which uses a low powered Arm CPU. That means it takes up very little
electricity.
Doing what it does with the Elist system and the mbse bbs system it works well
but un-needed / un-wanted received polls take up processing resources that
could effect normal operations and more importantly cost more money in
electricity and the cost of which is increasing almost weekly let alone
monthly.

Please stop !


Vincent
