This program performs the simple function of restarting a sana2 device when it
is placed in a offline state.  This normally occurs when you are hungup on by
a provider or line noise.  This program does not require that a ping is used
so no additional CPU usage is consumed.  This program uses the multi-tasking
capabilities of the Amiga to wait for the OFFLINE event to occur.

With version 2.1 of this software, this program also responds to an AREXX
command to  KILL itself.  This can be useful to cause this program to exit
when you wish to actually terminate your connection.

If you are a workbench user, this program now also responds to workbench
start-ups.  It will use an icons tooltypes for its commands if started from
Workbench.

It should be noted that with the advent of other TCP stacks within the Amiga
world that this software has not been tested with any stack but AmiTCP.  It
should however work with all as it relies upon the Sana device specification
not the underlying TCP stack.  The only exception to this will be the BOOTP
command which relies upon a AmiTCP program called "bootpconfig".  I would be
interested in any feedback users of other stacks could provide concerning
these new stacks.

Shameless Plug:

You can also visit my BBS if you wish.  We are running on a Amiga 4000 (stock
system) and have been in continuous operation since 1982.  We started out our
life on a  Pet model 4016 of all things!  It can be reached on the net at:
