   While I'm often busy, I do respond to email to mike at pcmicro dot com.   
      
   The issue you describes sounds like a recently reported issue with the   
   AntiScanner feature, which has been fixed in the current beta.   
   In the last few release versions of Net2BBS blocking sockets were used by    
   default which caused that AnsiScanner feature to sometimes make a    
   false-positive and thus add the IP address of the offending client to it's    
   temporary block-cache.   
      
   I suggest you just edit your net2bbs.ini to include "AntiScanner=0" to avoid    
   the false positive, or join the NetFoss mailing list to get the latest beta.I    
   am planning to put out a release version shortly.   
      
   Regards, Mike
