I leave my system up 24/7 and I haven't had too many problems... left it up
at the end of last quarter (Dec 10th) and wasn't back in atlanta till new
years... However, I have noticed that some problems crop up if you leave
it up for a long time... On my system it will stop sending carriage return
to telnet connections after a few weeks, but rebooting the system generally
solves the problem and you can do that from remote....
