That's the thing, there really isn't anything happening in the Terminal Server o
utput while that is happening when sbbsntsvc.exe is running and its toggling bet
ween "Running NT Service" and "Down". There is some noise every now and then, li
kely related to some sort of spam script trying to logon but nothing that i coul
d see of significance. Also, while it is doing that, I can connect (and stay con
nected). After a while, though theserver does top accepting any new connections
even though in the GUI it looks like everything is fine.

If the recommended way to run it these days is to do an auto logon and auto stat
of Syncrhonet Control Panel I can make that happen. I always thought that the s
ervice was a much more native feel since no one had to physically be loggged ont
o the box.

I will work on updating to that new method. Its been working for decades. I thin
k it stopped somewhere late last year. When I look at my messages, I don't see a
nything new since late 2025. If you want, I can try to pin down a more exact dat
e before I try and fix things.
Also, what do you expect... I'm old. I've been here for a long time and you know
, if its not broke, don't fix it :)
