It's really hard to get excited about doing an upgrade on
a system that just works isn't it?  :-)

I lost a hard drive on the master BBS server, that's what
spurred me to try the Warp4/WSeB upgrade.  After a week of
downtime and horrible fits, I finally threw in the towel
and rebuilt my three old Warp3/LANtastic boxen and brought
Nebeaux back up on the old platform.

It leaves me with no "evolutionary upgrade" path though,
I'm stuck with two completely incompatible networks.  The
Warp3 boxen can't "see" the WSeB server and the Warp4 boxen
can't "see" the LANtastic network.  I guess I could try to
build a Warp3 box and just use Connect as the NOS, but it
would still require an "all or nothing" approach to the
experiment.

You're using Warp Connect to run your BBS?  How many boxes?
