    Also just received another unsual error, the system is just getting screwey with me today:

    when polling sync for qwk packet, at decompression I get this:

    1/18 08:39:15p Importing QWK Network Packet: c:\sbbs\data\VERT.qwk
    1/18 08:39:15p Importing QWK messages from VERT into DOVE-Net Entertainment

    Dunno if this was one of my polls, or what it is, but its a new one on me.

    That filename doesn't sound familiar to me. Are you sure you're using the built-in Synchronet multi-node chat?

    Bleh... I found the issue... "helper" is a guru I was goofing around with and totally forgot, since I hardly use that area of the BBS and havent seen it come up in LOGS, this is from when I was still running under linux, forgot all about it..

    sorry for the waste of time..
