    No, I was uploading the sound files (sending to the BBS), and it will not
log anyone off during a transfer.  My U/D ratio would have been improving with
time, not getting worse.  Anyhow, I think you've hit on the solution:

    Yes!  That must be it.  I don't have any digitial clocks in my room, but
I'll check with my roomate's.  The sysop said he didn't notice any errors
during the transfer.  It was as if the upload terminated normally, and I
logged off.  Thanks for the idea, for a while I thought there was some way to
control Proterm by remote...
