From a recent email from Adam:
        
        BBS-Util no longer exists (as such).  I have renamed the package to
        'Dial-Up Utils' (because the package is not specifically oriented
        towards BBS administration, but towards the administration of dial-ups
        in general).  Dial-Up Utils 1.1 contains several features not found in
        BBS-Util 1.0 such as "Smart-Boot[tm]" (booting users only when all
        lines are busy, and optionally booting at most *one* user per minute
        in order to maximize line utilization).  You can find the package at:

        sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/BBS/Dial-Up_Utils_1.1.tar.gz

Adam wrote this package to enhance and add to the functions provided by
the BBLinux package. It adds the following functions:

                expires
