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.
