As a user and server administrator I agree, but it's a fact of life that (at least here in Germany) many if not all ISPs regularly drop the IP connection. I guess the idea is to prevent you from being able to run a server, since the IP address changes. Anyway, my private DSL connection is dropped twice per day. Mulberry does a decent if not perfect job of recovering from such dropped connections, but of course it can't send LOGOUT! I think server authors might want to keep that in mind ... -- Sebastian Hagedorn M.A. - Postmaster - RZKR-R1 (Flachbau), Zimmer 18 Zentrum f�r angewandte Informatik - Universit�tsweiter Service RRZK Universit�t zu K�ln / Cologne University - Tel. +49-221-478-5587
