Yup, I also ran it again, mayking sure that the sbbsntsvc.exe was killed before
I ran it. After running it and starting the service and the running the Synchron
et Control Panel GUI the behavior was the same. I can see it flashing between "R
unning NT Service" and "Down" over and over every half second or so. The funny t
hing is that I can still connect even when it is doing this.

I just disabled the service and started the GUI and it went to Listening mode. I
t also immediately ran External events and all of a sudden my Echomail was proce
ssed! I am going to leave it running this way for a it and see what happens. I'm
surprised more people don't run the service -- I am assuing they are setup to h
ave their systems autologon and run the GUI at startup?

You are my only network :)
the callout command is %!vert.bat
the contents of vert.bat are as follows:
ftp -s:c:\sbbs\exec\vert.ftp | find /v "Upload complete"
if not errorlevel 1 del c:\sbbs\data\vert.rep
