Subj : Polling Loop?

Hello There,

Here is something I have noticed that has happened occasionally for awhile now. 
BBBS will get stuck in a continuous polling loop. It doesn't always involve the
same remote system or even the same FTN.  This round of polling continued until 
I seen it happening and issued the command 'bbbs bom d 1:14/5'. Any thoughts on 
what might be causing this behavior? It's like BBBS doesn't detect that the 
connection was completed and tries again and again and again. Or Mystic isn't 
expressing that the connection was completed and so BBBS retries. This also 
happened on previous versions of BBBS.
