	I had this type of problem on my BBS since a lot of the time I was
  out of town.  I got a TSR that I run and if the phone rings 20 times it
  reboots the computer.  I got it to run on my Lantastic server.  I can't 
  say if you can find a similiar TSR for the type of operation system you
  are running.  I'm sure there's one out there for Unix maybe..
