Using the Telnet Server
As well as a web interface and an HTTP API, Spothole offers a telnet server. This can be used to integrate Spothole's data into a traditional desktop logging program. The data Spothole produces is compatible with DXSpider, and therefore many loggers should accept it with no problems.
This is a relatively new feature however, so if you run into problems, please do let me know.
The one caveat with the Spothole telnet server is that it does not support any commands, other than exit.
You cannot therefore issue commands to retrieve past entries, set up filters, etc. If you need to filter the data,
many desktop logging programs support this client-side, so hopefully this is not too big of an obstacle.
To access Spothole via telnet, set up your logger with the server address spothole.app
and port 7373. You can also access it from a terminal with telnet spothole.app 7373
