I _only_ have it with the ChessPartner interface and not with others like Winboard/Arena. I left Gandalf running overnight a few times in the Chesspartner interface only to find it hung up in the morning. Over the Christmas holidays I left Gandalf running in Winboard for 4 days straight, and not once had a problem of a disconnection. Peter
