Ran it for years.  Still a beta tester.  Registered it almost 5 years ago now.
Finally switched to Net2BBS since NetSerial would die when the telnet port was
slammed every 1/2 a second for people trying to hack the port (which they 
wouldn't be able to).  So after waking up every morning to NetSerial crashed, 
I had enough and switched.

All in all a good solid program besides this issue and no IP logging support.

... Mind if I clean my fly swatter over your soup?
