subject: max freezes my system

Scott,
I am running Win95 on a p166 mmx system.  I run maximus for DOS under win95 
with frontdoor on node 1 and WFC on node 2.
My problem is that when someone calls and then logs off, maximus locks up my 
system as soon as the .bat file is called (the status bar at the bottom of 
the screen disappears when the user enters the log off command and then the 
system freezes).  This happens intermittantly.  Sometimes my system will 
crash 3 or 4 times a week (which is about the norm), othertimes I can have it 
run for 2 weeks straight.
This is really pissing me off because I don't know what to do.  I've got:
set maximus=d:\max\max.prm              in autoexec.bat
files=40                                in config.sys
as mentioned in the manual.
Here is what my bat file looks like for Frontdoor:
@echo OFF
if errorlevel 51 goto mailIN
d:
cd\max
rename d:\max\ipc\ipc01.bbs ipc01.not
MAX.exe MAX -s115200 -b115200 -n1 -ld:\max\log\node1\max1.tmp
:ELoop
If Errorlevel 255 goto End
If Errorlevel 65  goto Outside
If Errorlevel 12  goto Export
If Errorlevel 11  goto Mash
If Errorlevel 10  goto End
If Errorlevel 5   goto Acall
goto End
:Outside
rem call ERRORLEVEL.CMD
rem Maximus -r
goto ELoop
:Export
cd \max\squish
squish out squash link -fd:\max\echotoss.log
del d:\max\echotoss.log
goto Acall
goto End
:Mash
cd \max\squish
squish squash
goto Acall
goto End
:Acall
rem this is where it executes after a phone call 
..............................
D:
cd \max
scanbld -c
          cd d:\max\log
          if exist node1\val1.tmp copy cbv.log+node1\val1.tmp cbv.log
          if exist node1\val1.tmp del node1\val1.tmp
          if exist node1\ul1.tmp copy uploads.log+node1\ul1.tmp uploads.log
          if exist node1\ul1.tmp del node1\ul1.tmp
          if exist node1\max1.tmp copy callers.log+node1\max1.tmp callers.log
          if exist node1\max1.tmp del node1\max1.tmp
if exist d:\max\cdch?-n1.use rename D:\max\cdch?-n1.use cdch?-n1.not
cd \max\fd
goto End
:mailIN
d:
cd \max\squish
SQUISH IN OUT SQUASH -fD:\max\echotoss.log
del d:\max\echotoss.log
goto End
:End
d:
cd\max\fd
exebbs
Any ideas??????
