Well, here my problem is that I have three modems that are used by a wide
variety of people in various places that get called to meetings, that get
interrupted by the phone, and are generally trying to do 5 or 10 things at
once. Occasionally they forget to log off or hang up their modem, and I
lost one of those modems from use until I track it down and unplug it. None
of this is fascist, just trying to free up forgotten resources because we
have a large (and growing) community of users that need the modems. I need
a daemon mainly to help people that sometimes forget in all honesty
remember again.
