Wow - it's nearly two years! I'm very pleased to hear that the program is
still in use. Many "good ideas" like that don't work out in
practice, and get abandoned.

You'll recall that a couple of people here were in favour of chaining all
your staff to their desks (or something like that). It's a tribute
to you and the phone operators that a fairly simple plan was designed,
implemented and never changed!

I find it hard to imagine that the Calls program would be wanted enough to
justify marketing. If you want to be an entrepreneur, please go for it.

I would be happy to provide some support for 10%!

According to my notes, the code will accept a computer name or IP address
(for "Master" in Calls.ini). Perhaps you are using an IP and
haven't noticed that a name would work?
