I have Welmat set up to spawn my bbs when the ESC key is pressed
by the caller.

Everything works fine, except for this.

There seems to be about a 30 second delay before Welmat perceives a
"timeout" and spawns the bbs anyway.

In other words, pressing the ESC key doesn't seem to do anything, and
one must wait for the timeout before the bbs is spawned.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

On a slightly different note, I have another problem.

After the caller logs off of the bbs, the bbs shuts down, yet
Welmat does not hang up the phone line, even though I have the
proper hangup string specified in the welmat.data file.

The only way to break the connection is for the caller to actually
hangup on the caller's end.

Any hints on this one?

Thanks,
-Jim
