 CS> The script for my local bbs sometimes works then next not!

Try increasing the timeout values by editing the script.
As an example, here's the logon script for my own BBS...
8<----------------------------------------------------------
main()
{
 if (waitFor("ss  twice for the Grotto",20)) cPutS("^[^[");
 if (waitFor("Who Wants To Enter (real names only)? ",20))
    { cPutS(_Entry_LogonName); cNewLine(); }
 if (waitFor("Password:",20))
   { cPutS(_Entry_Pass); cNewLine(); }
 alarm(1);
8<----------------------------------------------------------
See the if(waitFor([whatever],20)) bits?
Try increasing the value (20 in this example) a bit.
Don't forget to recompile it after altering it.
