   Yeah, that sounds like what was going on here.. My problem was that BBBS   
   doesn't seem to release the telnet nodes after getting hammered so much...   
      
   So your bbbs log gets filled with "No more free nodes!" with each attempt to   
   connect.  You have to reset the bbbs telnet daemon when that happens, but   
   under Linux it doesn't crash to the OS as is happening to Robert...

   Oh yeah, that is so true :)   
      
   Well, the good news is, since I switched to a non-stanard telnet port, all is   
   quiet and good
