[nos-bbs] JNOS2.0d - NET/ROM / strange behavior

[George (Skip) VerDuin]

I have a query for anyone who has replicated this behavior.
Am I alone?

As part of shaking out my ver2.0d, I configured netrom.
Of course I did it wrong the first time - three error messages "attach
netrom first".
It took a couple more tries to make the msgs go away - they did...
NET/ROM seemed to work after that - but I never found neighbors...
Oh well - I may not have any neighbors:-(

In this process I found two really strange behaviors:

First, documentation I found says "attach netrom" is an automatic part
of "start netrom".
My experience negates that information.
A specific "attach ..." is required.  WHY?

Second, the "status display" goes nuts.
The top three lines scroll off the screen and output starts double
spaced.
Occasional colored fields in the top lines are written - never the whole
lines.  WHY.

But it gets worse...
Even after abandoning the trial and restoring an earlier autoexec.nos.
even after re-loggin in, 
even after rebooting the op-sys, 
>> the status display remains buggered up.  WHY?
I have several months of good results followed by a day of junk that
won't go away...
What happened to my defaults?

So there you have it - NET/ROM leaves some dirty tracks behind a very
bad experience.
Nope - I have not found warning to avoid netrom as a feature...

Can anyone make sense of this?
Time is not an issue - but I'd like my good jnos back...
