So now I have exp_sends, conservative mode off, and a load of sleeps
inserted, and it seems to work in limited testing.

The sleeps are generally a symptom that there's a better coding
available. It's unlikely they're helping in other than a super-
ficial way.

I'm sure that you are right about that. The app does fail at one
point with the script going full out, but I doubt that the delays are
needed everywhere I put them.

Thanks!


Are you using

sleep ...

in place of a sufficiently specific

expect ...

? I urge you to reconsider the latter.
