Hi Jasen Betts, hope you are having a nice day

PW>> If I were to run the same setup on a more modern system then I'd

JB>yeah, once you get up round 40/second clocks aren't a good solution, and
JB>CRCs are bad at 100/day the best I can come up with is a "remembered"
JB>serial number that's saved to disk after use. so the count can continue
JB>from the same point.  I didn't implememt that as it's hard to make
JB>something like that portable.

 While it'd kill any real consecutivity in the count, what abt using
the current date/time as a seed for each time the program runs. 

PW>> Which spec is that covered under, do you know?
JB>no... none of the files my boss holds mention CHARSET.
JB>we should probably move this thread to a different echo, maybe NET_DEV

 I've got that echo turned on but mail the last couple of days in all
echos has been acting odd. :/ I have yet to see the echo posting of
da snooze and more importantly there's a big mess of missing mail in
one of my echos. Email backup has abt 350msgs over the last 3 days
yet I've only had abt 30 show up thru fido and stats from another
system look to show only 100 or so over the same period. :<

<sigh> Bad enough the mess from 'effie spilling over and mucking things
up, now mail *flow* is going to <bleep> as well.

PW>> I hadn't noticed anything like that here, looking at the pkt's
PW>>generated by termail I don't see 0x0D 0x0A 0x01, just a 0x0D 0x01.
JB>Yeah, but it puts 0x0d 0x0a in body of the message text, seems that 
JB>something was barfing on the kludges so they tweaked the code... I don't
JB>know why they kept the 0x0d 0x0a in the body though. FWIW something
JB>striped them out before it arrived here.

 I thought 0x0D 0x0A in the main body though was normal.
