I'd like to cut down on the number of log files I keep - at the moment there 
is a separate one for callers with modem diagnostic output and it would be 
good to get it all into the Max log file, with date/time information included 
in the same format as Max's log file.
At the moment, callers can download a file that looks like:
Max -s38400 -b28800 -p2 -t925 
parameters 5 onwards are /Lap-M/Compression

This gets appended to a *very* large log file after the caller logs off. I'd 
prefer to be able to convert this this information to something that looks 
more like the Max log file with date/time information at the start of each 
line, and append it to the Max.log file immediately after the information is 
obtained and before actually firing up Max.
