Disconnect Problems

I am running wfbb 7f in win 3.11 with two kpc3 tncs in kiss mode driven by tfpcx
and a PTC II in its own mode. I have had no end of problems getting all of this
to work since changing over a Kam for the PTC and getting rid of bpq node
software.

The specific problem I am having at the moment is that stations the bbs
connects to for forwarding sometimes can't be disconnected. An FQ will go by
and I think the other station disconnects normally but it is still listed as
connected on my console screen. If I select it and choose disconnect or
immediate disconnect, it does nothing. If I try to connect to that bbs again, fbb
says that the station is already connected. Another variant of this is that
sometimes it thinks it is still connected and it doesn't show on the console
screen but I still get the "already connected" message when I try to connect to
that bbs. Others connecting to me complain that they get a connect but the
system sits there and doesn't do anything.

Stuck!
