   Yes, but hitting 1000+ JLR files all over a drive *is slow* versus,   
   SCANTHIS.LST from me to you - you only hit 5 to 10 echos that have been active   
   since I signaled FMAIL SCAN.   
      
   And vise versa, FMAIL and Rhenium run in a seperate thread/window from the BBS   
   which is actually running right now behind GameSrv.exe in dynamic windows. *   
   This will *SERIOUSLY* change when I migrate this to my Linux rack. However, in   
   either case, I do not "SCAN" after every caller, and I do not "TOSS" after   
   every mailer session. I am currently doing it on the 5's (every 5th minute I   
   check if SCANTHIS.LST exists then I do a FMAIL SCAN) and if /BinkPDOS/IN/ has   
   anythign other than . and .. then I call FMAIL TOSS.   
      
   I do this, as I get 100's of port scans a minute that would normally trigger a   
   "FMAIL TOSS" and really eat CPU... and depending upon their script - could   
   cross-fire FMAIL SCAN if I ran it in the STARTBBS.BAT for GameSrv.exe

   If you do not mind *crazy* ideas to steamline my systems across the US - I   
   will gladly share ideas. I can even share how d'Bridge does its folders - I   
   call DBO for my environment (which supports both BSO and DBO concurrently)...   
   MODEM vs BINKP. I am currently looking at scheduling a rewrite on Portal of   
   Power, and merging my BinkPDOS code into it giving me EMSI/WAZOO/BINKP all on   
   a single codebase (DOS/WINDOWS/MAC/LINUX).
