   Well, although the posted message didn't specifically mention it, the
original question related to watching what callers were doing on a BBS.
[The reply-to field (sysop) hinted at this].
   Since there are a number of BBS's running under MS-DOS, and it is quite
simple to trap all incoming and outgoing characters, I guess MS-DOS just
might have won this round.
