Thanks to Rick, K4TD, user-determined filtering (just like any cluster 
node) is now available on the RBN telnet node at 
telnet.reversebeacon.net, port 7000.  The node uses the DX Spider 
cluster software, and information on filtering commands is available in 
<http://www.dxcluster.org/main/filtering_en.html>.  All the usual 
filtering options are available, and "middleware" such as VE7CC's CC 
User makes setting them easy.

Rick is providing a very capable server that should be able to handle 
the load with ease, even with raw spot rates peaking >400 spots per 
minute during the WPX CW.  Try it during WWSA, or during ARRL Field Day.
