MR> Wow! Mine is a lot different than that, I have also tried several
MR> different versions of it. Might I ask what You have in Your
MR> autoexec.bat to get/keep PCB running so smoothely for You. I got rid
MR> of my manuals long ago and I am not sure if the things I have in there
MR> and in the board.bat are right.

Since I don't use QFront as a mailer and since I use NetFoss 1.0 as my telnet
server, the board.bat file for my setup is straight-forward.

NetFoss just calls PcBoard with

d:\netfoss\nf.bat /n*N /h*H c:\pcb\pcboard.bat *N

pcboard.bat has

{at}ECHO OFF
CLS
SET PCB=/NODE:%1 /PORT1F:
SET PCBDRIVE=C:
SET PCBDIR=\PCB\NODE%1
SET PCBDAT=C:\PCB\PCBOARD.DAT
SET NODE=%1
:top
%pcbdrive%
cd %pcbdir%
if exist remote.bat REN remote.bat remote.sys
if exist door.bat   DEL door.bat
if exist endpcb     DEL endpcb
c:\pcb\pcboardm /file:%pcbdat% /C:115200
if exist remote.bat CALL remote.bat
if exist door.bat   CALL door.bat
if exist event.bat  CALL event.bat
if NOT exist endpcb GOTO top
:end

Straight-forward enough, no?
