Hmm. Did you know that the Listserv Link Monitor has no idea what the message 'FROM nodeid: LINK target DRAINED' means? It knows ACTIVE, CONNECT, STARTED, stalled, wedged sideways and not transmitting, but DRAINED is beyond its comprehension. Eric - this time I'm not flaming your coding style. However, since you like your style so much, YOU can decrypt it and teach it the needed incantations. :-) Valdis
