    NB>> Yes, that is a blessing... :) I noticed that the bbs stayed up... :)   
      
    MH> I have everything on UPS units to at least keep things running when   
    MH> there are power fluctuations and short power outages.    
    MH> A few years ago when we had a huricane, we lost power for over 24   
    MH> hours but you would never know.  I had the entire house running on own   
    MH> portable generator - including the server that runs the BBS, website,   
    MH> etc.    
      
   Ah... you are well prepared for just about anything then... :)   
      
    NB>> Bbs question, btw... For a while now, the weather report at login has   
    NB>> been at least partly unreadable, since it doesn't pause after the first   
    NB>> screen, just quickly scrolls the whole thing to the end... seems to me   
    NB>> it used to pause... There are other places where there doesn't seem to   
    NB>> be a necessary pause kicking in, too... like help screens, bulletins...   
      
    MH> Next time you login, from the main menu type "D" for defaults.  Just   
    MH> ensure you have the [Pause] on pages turned on.  I have seen that get   
    MH> turned off by accident before, even on my account.    
      
   I saw that you had done that for me...  I did check in there to see how   
   things were set.  One place that still flies by for me, too fast to be   
   seen, is the listing of what the slash commands are...    
      
   Do you have any way on the bbs to telnet into weather underground to   
   check the weather for other areas...?  One bbs that I've been using for   
   that has been down the last few days, maybe they lost power there...   
   another seems to have it, but it doesn't work for me there...   
      
   ttyl         neb   
      
   ... 54% of all statistics are made up.  No, make that 82%.
