This is an automated message posted to you via POSTMASTER for
DROPPING CARRIER!
Since you are getting this message it is being brought to your
attention that you are disconnecting from the BBS in a fashion
that is frowned upon and not desired as it can cause problems for
some of the software (on-line games, etc) and may cause the BBS
to not setup the modem for the next caller to successfully log
in to. Please refrain from shutting off the modem, or any other
way of disconnecting other than using the [G] Goodbye & Logoff
option.
Failure to comply will result in your access being cut for a
period of time and continued use of improper log-offs will result
in your accounts' termination. If you are having problems
staying connected or your modem is experiencing difficulties,
please inform the SysOp (MICHAEL B ABBOTT) about it so that this
issue can be resolved in a timely and understanding manner.
Your co-operation and understanding is greatly appreciated.
