I'm not 100% sure on any of this, to be honest. I get wierd connection
issues with Mystic systems at times, and usually it ends up being a stuck
bundle/packet in their inbound (even though I thought this was fixed as
well, so it's possible those systems haven't upgraded yet, and if that's
the case, obviously it's no fault of the current version).

I can be sure on the fact that I haven't gotten NEARLY as many issues
lately. So, I could just be rehashing old shit. If anything happens, I'll
have to make note of it when it actually happens, rather than try to
reflect on it at a later date. lol

Regards,
Nick
