<p>Thanks, Bill. I was wondering if this is one of those seldom used
features that nobody has actually tried yet, and I happened to be
the one that found out that it did not work? I tried it between
the Pi and an ACID node as well as between the Pi and a DIAL node
with no luck. I made sure the other node was connected before
invoking the script, and that all nodes had "holdofftelem=0"<br>
