I did a good month of behind the scenes testing,and there was no correlation between the complaints and what wewere doing with enabling/un-enabling (and configuring) of thephone home system.It's so easy to point fingers... it's much harder to actuallylearn about Web Serving and managing a server.I had some problems with a server I was managing back aboutthe same time as those reports referenced above. After I fixedthe server config errors, it has run over a year now (version6.0a) without a restart. It's running under the heaviest WebDNAload that I have every worked with in my 10 years of workingwith WebDNA and it hasn't even a hiccup.Please watch the accusations.. because this *new* WebDNA listwill not tolerate slanderous remarks.Donovan-- Donovan D.
