Yes, fidoin is triggered by a semaphore ONLY.  Being I have downlinks, as soon
as sbbsecho does it's thing importing, it creates outbound pkt's, as you well
know. I run a timed event for fidoout incase there are any *.msg's sitting in
my netmail so they get converted and sent.  I don't get many callers but if
someone wants to send a netmail, I really don't want it sitting around waiting
for fidoout to run.

Agreed, but now that you told me the stray pk_ gets converted after 60 minutes,
i'm not too worried.  Yes, statistically two instances can, and have run
together but it doesn't create a huge issue.

Thanks!!
