I had long since realized that getting sync to dial the hub was MUCH moreãeconomical on cpu resources than a telemate script...ã5-15% as opposed to 99% (go figure)ãbut, when i polled the system and there were no messages the script would justãsit there untill it times out...ãby changing the string compare from a strict to a sub-string compare it finallyãworked... dunno why I never noticed it when we used the scripts before...ãmust of been a higher volume of traffic...ããthis just shows how awsome sync really is!!!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Flamin' Torch BBS - The Board on Fireã
