Sorry, wrong answer. You did get some of it right, but not compleately.
His problem is that the window that runs the BBS is not configured to
run in the background. For some odd reason (well, Microsoft...) Win95
switches the tasks so that it gives the foreground to the screensaver
application. If the BBS window isn't configured to run in the background,
it will freeze and the BBS caller will experience a carrier drop.

I run my BBS under Win95 here and I don't have any problems. Win95 isn't
that slow you know. When I still had my old 486/66 with 8MB of RAM, I could
play F1GP or something in the background while a user was downloading a file
at 3200CPS (28800bps connection). The CPU load was just 78%.
This is going off-topic in this echo....

It was a few minor bugs.  I used to have the list, but can't seem to find it
now.  No matter, it's a drop-in replacement, so anyone using 3.0 should go
ahead and update their setup to 3.01.
