"The FMS won't disable you whenever your User Watchdog goes off. It doesn't even know when it happens, nor care. That's a "user issue" to it."

I wasn't implying that it disabled you, just that it leads to comm problems. All the info I have on FMS is second hand so I don't know if FMS sees the watchdog. I am not really saying this is FMS's fault. If your code messes up and throws a watchdog, it is hard to recover while connected to FMS.
