I'm not sure.  I remember when I first installed WARP and saw the 
Session_Priority I changed my BBS to a higher priority just to see what would 
happen, and it the next caller had all kinds of problems.  I changed it back 
to the default (0) and all was well again.  Much later I read somewhere that 
Session_Priority worked as I described above, which made sense based on my 
experience, but I can't find the source for this, perhaps it was in a dream?
I've searched every where I could think for where I got this, but came up 
blank.  Nick posted a reply to me on this, which seemed to indicate I'm wrong 
on this, but I'm still not sure.   The guys that were messing around with 
this setting seemed to be having problems, as I had problems when I changed 
it, so I'm a little skeptical about my thoughts being incorrect.  
I guess it should be easy enough to test, but I'm not in the mood at the 
moment, and if I'm wrong it'll drive me crazy trying to come up with where I 
got the info:-)
