Yeah, I know.  As many times as I've crashed entire computers in my life
testing out new software, or forcing software to work on computers that it
wasn't meant for, I should know better.

Mostly, I'm back running.  A couple of FTNs packets appear to be tossing, but
who knows where the mail is going, definitely not to the message areas.

It'll work out Eventually.
