It is supposed to time out       if a connection gets hung but doesn't always do so. I reported it a couple of       times and it was supposedly "fixed" but then later it will start doing it       again. After the third time I quit using it.              My suggestions are:              (1) check and make sure an inbound or outbound binkit connection is not hung       (2) if the issue persists, stop using binkit and use binkd instead              Bear in mind that, if you are on linux or another OS that strictly enforces       user access, binkd will need to run under the same user as synchronet       in order for things to work smoothly.                      * SLMR 2.1a * Speed doesn't kill.
