Thats great to hear! I have been running it in interactive mode for the past cou
ple of days and it seems to be pretty stable. Once you have the update out I'm h
appy to switch bact to the service and test things out.

Yeah, I was getting occasional QWK errors last year, but I never thought much of
it. I had been a while since I newscaned dovenet (you know, life......) so I di
dn't find it until I put some effort in recently with the update. I'm happy to s
witch to the newer method and will give it a go this weekend.

thanks for the tip on chksetup.js. I'll give that a go and see what it says. I d
o think that I am still having some event issues are my fido is not polling regu
larly.
I think you should take some of the credit for my board being there all of those
years. its been rock solid stable over the and I would not still be here if it
wasn't for synchronet. so glad and thankful that you have kept the synchronet ma
chine going all of these years.
