Hi Mark,

Since I know you are well versed in the BBS Biz you know that some BBS software
goes brain dead and refuses to answer the phone (for one reason or another) but
still act as though they are working but can not talk to the modem any longer.
That would make it necessary to either kill the BBS process and restart it OR
shutdown the system and reboot it. Since most people can not figure out how to
detect a BBS lockup, then shut it down and restart it (Me included), it is
easier to shut the system down.... I apologize if I am telling you something
that you already know but, there is a BIG need for an OS/2 utility that could
monitor the BBS and reset automatically it if it hangs. Michael Gleason
