I had problems with some files on a 2k machine when I first started using
the BP. However, as per APH's recomendation, I began waiting a full 30
seconds before disconnecting from this particular machine. I don't know if
this is waiting longer than necessary but I can tell you that I haven't had
a single problem since. Lou
