Smartie.  :)

Yes, thanks muchly.  I don't know what happened here.  It may have just been a 
local glitch but that's ancient history now.

Same here, with the experimentation.  I've upped the "Stand-Off minutes" to 59 
minutes now and it's so much better.  I'm tempted to make the two nodes 
currently set un-dialable, to start polling them again.

Cheers,
Paul.
