ok... i'm not sure what other values might be able to be adjusted to control
this... there may not be any and the only way to fix it is to fix the code and
recompile... but i think this is also what we ran into previously when i
implemented the white list so i could add you and other specific systems to
it...

yup... capturing the network packets get all of the conversation... not just
bits and pieces...

excellent... there is timing involved in each step but today's network stacks
seem to be better at implementing them...

ahhh... thanks... that helps if we need to dig that deep... i have done a
little digging in my bbs logs and was quite surprised to find:

  dec 2014 - 96.25.119.xxx  Clear Wireless
  jun 2014 - 50.48.130.xxx  frontier.net
  jun 2013 - 70.101.54.xxx  frontier.net
  jun 2012 -       "
  jun 2011 - 65.37.54.xxx   frontier.net (orig in white list)
  jun 2010 -       "
  jun 2009 - 74.34.1.xxx    frontier.net
  jun 2008 -       "
  jun 2007 - 74.34.8.xxx    frontier.net

i'm starting to wonder if the white list is really doing any good for your
connections since you went so long (years) with no problems and had at least
three different IPs before this recent set of problems caught you up... i'm not
sure how many other IP numbers you may have had in the two or three years
before the above chart... i didn't find anything for you in 2006 in spot
checking and i haven't gone back any further...

 ML> recipe? hummm... 9:38 so let's see what recipe 938 is...

 ML> dang... an you don't/can't do apples... sorry :(

let's try it again... 04:46...

MMMMM----- Recipe via UNREGISTERED Meal-Master (tm) v8.02

      Title: JUSTIN WILSON'S HUSH PUPPIES
 Categories: Cajun, Breads
      Yield: 48 servings

      2 c  Cornmeal
      1 c  Plain flour
      1 t  Baking powder
      1 t  Salt
    1/2 t  Soda
    1/2 c  Parsley, finely chopped
      1 x  Deep fat for frying
      1 x  Ground cayenne pepper
      2 ea Eggs, beaten
      1 c  Buttermilk
      1 c  Green onion, finely chopped
      2 T  Bacon drippings, hot
    1/2 t  Garlic powder (to taste)

  Combine all dry ingredients.  Add eggs, buttermilk, onions, and oil or
  bacon drippings.  Mix well.  Drop in deep hot fat by spoonfuls and
  brown on all sides. Now, I said above that this makes 48, I've never
  counted, so I don't know for sure.  But it sure does make a bunch.
  The main reason why I said 48 is because the program, MenuMaster,
  won't let you past that field unless you tell it something. Justin
  Wilson says, "Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated
  after the Civil War. People didn't have enough for themselves to eat
  let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking
  from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them,
  yelling, 'Shut up, dog!  Hush puppy!"

MMMMM
