   Ah ok.    
      
   You are running D'Bridge like a door.    
      
   That is cheating :)   
      
    NA> Start Net2BBS, test by telnetting locally. Net2BBS should spawn

    NA> When the BBS terminates, the  session returns to the mailer which at   
    NA> this point has sensed "dropped carrier" and thus terminates back to   
    NA> DBRUN... which exits.   
      
   Why cannot Net2BBS just pass the raw connection to D'Bridge WFC mode ? is it   
   because the author wants to sell NetSerial instead ?
