subject: BBBS Upgrade?

Hello Janis,

>> Just an FYI? I am upgrading the Linux test machine from 16.04 LTS Beta-2

The Linux install/upgrade seemed to go without a hitch. I had a swap partition
creation error with the beta install. Which I later found out was a common
occurrence with the Beta install. No such error with the release install. So
far, no lockup or video issues either. Currently all I have installed is Mystic
BBS. I will let the upgraded machine run a few days before thinking about
upgrading the BBBS machine.

The Mystic/BBBS issue was different. It seems that I had to disable security in
BBBS for a particular echo. As Mystic was sending mail packets with the wrong
AKA and BBBS was rejecting them as a security violation with security enabled.
