   Right :)  I can understand not thinking of that though.

   Well, yes, you can.. it would always be node two that you use, IIRC.. Check   
   the docs to see if you use node 2 same for Windows.  But this works on my   
   Linux system:   
      
   If you want to crash some mail to 1:261/38:   
      
   #!/bin/sh   
   cd /home/bbbs   
      
   ./bbbs bom ch 1:261/38  +C  /* Set node 1:261/38 to crash ./bbbs 2 2 TCPIP   
      
   Now if 1:261/38 is already set to crash in external.bbb for all mail, then you   
   don't need the bbbs bom line above.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
