Introduction:
 BoxMonitor is a useful Remote-Server-Monitor program with an intuitive interface.
 This tool is able to check specified service-ports on remote network devices,
 this means instead of just pinging a server you can scan single service-ports like
 the HTTP at port 80 or a gameserver at port 20100, to check if that service is running.
 Most ping programs will only tell you if the server is up or not.
 BoxMonitor is fast and rugged, will check upto 20 servers in 1 scan and has alot of
 features that makes it friendly to use, like easy updating of server info,
 server-list print out, systray icon, E-mail notification if a monitored device fails,
 audio alert on device failure, execute external file on device failure, screen log of
 server problems, save logfile, print logfile, time based autocheck, and much more.

Version History:
 07-15-2002
 v1.10 is released with some cosmetic changes and some major new features ie,
 audio alert on device failure, execute external file on device failure.
 Some users pointed out that with autocheck on and minimized to systray or
 taskbar, the program would continue to show an alarm, had there been one,
 even if the device that failed was back online. This has been corrected
 and the program now resets the alarm if the device comes back online,
 still performing the alert options specified by the user.
 (thanks for the feedback ;).
