21 Notes: The remove command sometimes succeeds where bump and detach
22 fail, because it uses different mechanisms for destroying the user's
23 process. This command should not be used unless the user complains of
24 channel trouble and cannot be bumped. Once a channel is removed, the
25 telephone associated with the channel will not answer and the channel
26 cannot be used for logins again until an attach command reattaches it
27 to the answering service.
