There are also issues with some of the scripts (ZeusError.Log): R
When it hangs, all I can do is disconnect. The bbs still thinks I'm
online though and the only way to clear it is to quit zeus and reboot
the machine.

Ouch - there should have been no changes to DTE. I will have to check further. I'm not removing DTE but effectively it will be superceded by ZTextEditor (ZTE) in 1.9.
I have managed to figure out the new telnetconnector system. This
message is from my system with the new 1.8 install.

Part of 1.9 is ZTelser, and that takes a different approach. Instead
of having an external program to listed for connections, each line (or device node) will start a listener process. If another line/device
comes on the same port, it joins the existing group.
But this might be a 1.10 change as it's so reliable at the moment and
I don't want to break anything! :-)
Is there any way to improve file transfer speeds? The download on line
one started of fast, and dropped to 30cps. Even though the report says "Avg CPS: 31626", look at the time it took. Upload was quicker.

Yes, but only in Zeus 1.9.
Would you like an early copy of 1.9? - it's beta but it's what I'm
running live on TKG.

How stable is it? Is there more to configure in the telnet support?
I'd like to see "bot" protection. Ie: user needs to press 'esc' twice within 15 seconds to get through to the bbs, otherwise the line is dropped.
I've been thinking about doing one myself, but where is the right place
to plug it into the system?
Feature request:
Add a feild to the user account settings for having the users email address. At the moment I'm using the "Street" feild for that on my
system.
This would then allow the creation of a password recovery system
(That's why my system askes for it.). It's yet to be written though.

It seems good, fairly stable, but in flux. The only crashes I've had
are from the AI subsystem - but that's optional, just leave it
offline.

Well, you could put ZMailer online as the connector (through ZTelser)
for that but it's a bit overkill!

I don't know what your scriptset looks like but you can add that to Logon/Logon.zeus very early on. It should be fairly easy to drive
through ARexx.

This is a good idea, and also on the todo list !
