How many heartbeats do you have running around at those times ?

(eval return heartbeats(); )

When the driver is struggling with the cpu power to keep up, it will
drop heartbeats and call_outs.

Yea, most of our problems come from wandering monsters I suspose they
take more CPU power don't they?  How might we fix this problem?

http://www.imaginary.com/intermud/intermud3.html

That's the home site of the I3 specification, which lays out piece by
piece exactly how everything works.  You'll want to have a reasonably
good working knowledge of that document before tackling coding of
services.

If people don't like x@y, they can chose to ignore the person/mud.
If an admin doesn't like a certain site for a valid reaosn, it

When this happens the cpu is running at 18% or less of its max.
Is that enough to cause this problem?

Thank you,

How do you ignore someone from a mud with more than one word in the name?
foo@lima bean doesn't work
foo@lima_bean doesn't work, either.
-h

did you try ignoring someone from a mud with only one word in the name?
it doesn't work either.

Are you looking for a site to host your MUD?  If so, you've probably
discovered that sites are few and far between.  Let us give you a hand.

We're CII: Common Internet Inc., a Canadian-based Internet Service
Provider, providing a wide range of Internet solutions to customers in
many communities.

We're now offering the opportunity to give your MUD, chat server, talker,
or whatever other multi-user system you want to run a chance to have a
solid, stable home that won't go away when the school year ends, or when
you change jobs.

For $100.00 (Canadian currency, about $70-75 U.S.) per month, you'll have:

- 100 MB of space on our dedicated MUD server.
- Access to the latest GNU compilation tools for compiling your system,
  as well as alternative compilers such as GPC (GNU Pascal Compiler) and
  others for alternative development projects.
- An interactive account on the system, for receiving mail about your
  multi-user system, and for putting up World Wide Web pages to advertise
  your project.
- Free nameservice for your mud; if you already have a domain name, we'll
  host it for you, and if you want one, we can help you obtain your own, or
  we'll give your a \"common.net\" name for free.  (Internic fees may apply
  for some domain name registrations.)
- Free backup service.
- No limitations on the type of software you want to run: anything from
  LPmuds to MOOs and everything in between.
- Some limited technical support (we can help you get a few MUD types that
  we have direct experience with operating, and can give you help with
  navigating gcc, gdb, and other tools).
- Most importantly, a quick and stable home for your MUD.

We're currently taking reservations; space is limited, so contact us early
to ensure that you have a place for your MUD to call home!

This might be interesting for some people. Remember though that
it all depends on the network connection to common.net, the

It works for simple gwiz messages, but not for gwiz emotions.  I think it
is the same for the code line, as well.  e.g.-I can ignore 
misery@medievia (except for his actions), but I can't ignore Misery when
he's on Lima Bean...
