My OS 8.1, SIMS 1.8b8, AutoShare, QuickDNS Pro machine has not 
crashed since I stopped running Summary and QuidProQuo on it. When I 
was running the web server stuff (QPQ & Summary) it would crash about 
once a week.

The full up combination had run without periodic crashing until 
fairly recently. I suspect that some web attacks targeted at Windows 
machines were not being kind to QPQ. From the log files, it seems 
that web attacks are nearly all the time now. In addition, I now see 
continuous low rate address harvesting attempts on the SIMS logs. The 
Internet is not as safe a place for servers as it was only a few 
months ago.
