To-do List

* Get latest decoder
* Update MottOnline
* Add BPM Analysis
* Add Block Readout

1- At one time, we used minicom to hard reboot the Mott DAQ
VME crate. This service was discontinued. Instead, we will
use the RS232 connection on the CAEN VME64X VME8200.
2- Upgrade opsmdaq0.
3- Now we have "opsmdaq0" and "iocmdaq1". It would be a
good idea to match names.
4- Standardize "msql" on opsmdaq0.
5- Upgrade from MVME6100/VxWorks to Intel/Linux CPU.
