BG> Anyway, David's board is back up again, and I'm afraid to ask
BG> him what went wrong, in case he thinks I'm having a sly dig
BG> at him again (it wasn't the first time he crashed, you know).

DD> The reason the board "crashed" was that I
"upgraded" my idiotproof
DD> modem's FlashROM.  Two new speeds meant that Binkley now exits with
DD> two new errorlevels.  The problem came about when I forgot to trap
DD> these new errorlevels.  When someone called at 33,600 on Saturday
DD> arvo it exited with an errorlevel of 80 (decimal) which performed
DD> some batch operation and recycled back to Binkley.  The entity tried
DD> to connect again and got 31,200 which exits with an errorlevel of 56.
DD>  I didn't have 56 trapped.  I did have 50 trapped however which drops
DD> into a local log listing routine and waits for keyboard input.

DD> When I got home and pressed escape, the BBS came back up.

DD> Modems - harrumph! ÿ

Dorks who expect to make a significant change, tear out the door,
and are surprised when its dead when they get back - harrumph! ÿ
