  I'm trying something new with Internet Rex...instead of my trying
to poll your system just after 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm
Mountain, and 10pm Pacific Time, for FTN mail runs...I'm going to
put Internet Rex into daemon mode. Originally, I had in in that, but
one of my connects would make it exit after a poll.

  So, in conjunction with my CAPTCHA batchfiles, that copy a new
random code every 5 minutes around the clock...every 15 minutes,
I will have the system check for the semaphore file in Internet
Rex's semaphore directory, indicating it or daemon mode, is active.
If it finds that file, it exits...but if not, it activates daemon
mode.

  If this "testing" works, then the nodelists can be modified to
show The Thunderbolt BBS as being CM (continuous mail). I will still
do a nightly poll at the times noted above.

  If you can't connect, then one or more of the folllowing is the
reason:

1) Xfinity internet outage.
2) Power outage, which means the internet is out as well.
3) Rebooting for Windows Update (sometime on the 2nd Tuesday).
4) Offline for thunderstorms in the area (potential or actual).

  If you can't connect, please try your poll again later.

  For QWK Networking Connects, I'll do those polls on an hourly basis.

  Please email me at wx1der@gmail.com if you have any questions.
