   Thank you for taking time out of your day to experiment with it. I wonder what   
   is coinsiding with MRC to make me think its only MRC causing the crashes. I   
   only get on MRC in the early AM here for chat and coffee and after being on an   
   hour or so I see that it has been disconnected and when I check the run time on   
   the BBS remotely I see that is has indeed crashed and restartoncrash.exe has   
   rebooted the stalled program sbbsctrl.exe. I ran it for hours today on just   
   plain IRC and IBBS at the same time and nothing happened. I think you and Rob   
   are right. I will try the upgrade. MRC is simple and should not be crashing   
   synchronet. It sure seems like the culprit when I am the only one logged in and   
   running MRC myself and it hangs up the BBS. I do have some of my long time   
   friends pop in and out reading messages about the same time. Who knows.... I do   
   appreciate your time Codefenix!
