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!               Rixter       telnet://ricksbbs.synchro.net:23       http://ricksbbs.synchro.net:8080              ---        þ Synchronet þ Rick's BBS telnet://ricksbbs.synchro.net:23        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 240/1120 5832 263/1       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
