Yeah, I dunno what it could have been, I put the backup files back in the ctrl
dir, but for some reason ftelnet is missing in my /web/root dir.. even though
the physical files are there it acts as if it does'nt exist. this did'nt happen
until I did a CVS update in my secondary SBBS dir to build the updated
executables, I did not mess with anything in my working sbbs dir, and only
updated the files with the newest files in my build dir. very strange.. I have
more things working now than I did earlier this morning.. but ftelnet is still
giving issues. I'm sure to get it fixed soon.

 ec> Except for those other error messages you posted (something about MSGMAINT

I get those msgmaint errors from time to tim because an event will hang and
cause memsgmaint to run late, the QWK errors do happen time to time I think a
sysop in another network has a message subboard named the same as one of verts
and it is catching dupes, I will have to go over the error logs and check
again, vut since the new build I have when from averaging 100+ errors to around
10 a day.. so I'm just bug crushing 1 at a time.

Thanks for your time and help. most of my website is back 10 100% ftelnet is
still not operational though. even though it exists physically and nothing has
been changed in any of the *.ini files.  I'm wordering if all the new TLS code
changes may have something to do with it?
