    Thanks for the suggestion but I've been all over that area and couldn't find a thing. But since you've brought it up, I'll check again, it
    won't hurt. My eyes are going cross eyed and it may be time to put it
    to bed for the day!

    No problem, I know how you feel with being cross eyed! I was working on a program for my C64 Image BBS and I went back and forth with a error I was getting for hours!! I couldn't figure it out at all. I was ready to just delete the files and give up. Then I saw it, I put a , (Comma) instead of a . (Period) in the line in question! LOL

    Good luck..

    It's very early in the connection/login process. I've looked into everything I can think of with no luck. I've taken a couple of days o

    to "get away" from the problem!


    Since it is in the login process, I would look at the prelogin.mnu in the config set up. You might be calling an MPL file with the wrong
    directory, OR an MPL in that routine is calling a data file or something with a WIndows Directory instead of Linux.

    Just an FYI that I "finally" got moved over to linux. The "error" that was giving me fits was in the "node" configuration. There's a filebox setting
    that I had set up in the windows version but ultimately discarded. Only the windows backslash was kept. Apparently, even though I wasn't using it, the setting was set to the wrong backslash. Just by deleting the wrong one, the correct backslash was automatically inserted. Once I figured it out, everything started right up.
