   Yes, agreed.     
      
   The other option would be for me to just move the shared directory to an   
   existing Windows Server and keep everything running as is (on the Windows 7   
   32-bit VM).  The only reason I am not crazy about that idea is that means   
   there are now (3) separate VMs/systems needing each other for the BBS nodes.     
      
   It seems to root of the problem is Windows non-server only allows a total of   
   20 connections for a share.  For some unknown reason, Samba on eCS and ArcaOS   
   use 4 connections for each BBS node.  On the event that I hit the 20   
   connection limit, JFS crashes and the eCS VM dumps.   
      
   If I move this share to my Windows Server, no more connection limit for a   
   share.
