Hi Doc,
 
It may just be you and me following this echo... lol
I can't remember, but I Think we have may spoken on FaceBook awhile ago...
 
I run RA and use D'Bridge as the mailer/tosser.
I use XP as the OS (just because it worksk and I had it laying around), have
NetFoss as my fossil and Net2BBS as the actual telnet server.
 
Since all of the message nets I'm on transfer over BinkD, I run D'Bridge and
Net2BBS telnet server (spawning my two RA nodes) simultaneously 
 
I don't have D'Bridge call RA when a user connects.  They are two seperate
NTVDM processes.  3 when two nodes are in use... :)
 
Hope that helps!
 
Be sure to check out Willow's awesome MAFRAG file / message area navigation
door. Now freeware, up for download on my BBS. :)
