Re: {bb} Ping times?

["Jim Harmon" <jharmon@colltech.com>]

To control the remote connectivity "page me" on an absolute level, use the
"dialup" option as the first item in the list of options in your bb-hosts
file, specifically on the line (after the "#") for the remote system.

This should take the system out of the automatic paging list completely
tho.... which doesn't answer your original question but it stops you getting
the latency related timeouts.
