My understanding is that most of Oberon.Text is used 
only at startup; but at least the DIAL scripts are 
read on demand later.  You can make a modem connection, 
terminate it, change the DIAL script and invoke it 
for the next connection, without rebooting.  Still, 
ETHNO reboots faster than most other systems.  

Regards,         ... Peter E.
