Nodespy is kind of like the old waiting for caller screens that would allow
SySops to view basic BBS stats such as callers, emails, posts, for the day,
without having to login to see if we have email.  In the dial up days waiting
for call screens allowed us sysops to auto set security levels for users,
hang up on them if they were malicious, jump in chat if paged, etc... nodespy
is similar in that we can pick a node someone is connected to and perform
basic functions like that.  I had been using it to see if I had any email or
calls, so I didn't have to go through the BBS login process to find out. 
However, when a user would connect, for some reason my Mystic nodespy take a
minute to auto launch a separate terminal and display the user logging in. That
delay was causing the issue.  So I just quit launching the application and
the problem went away.  I still have a short cut to the ap so I can view the
stats, then close it right back out.  However another sysop tested his the
same way and was unable to replicate the problem.  So .. I'll likely upgrade
my .45 to .46 Mystic this week to fix the problemo.
