Ihnp4 has, on the average, about 400 sites that it wants to talk to at any particular moment. This means of course that it is somewhat problematical whether np4 will attempt to call in the appropriate window. I suggest that the administrators of uwvax poll ihnp4 at least once a day to alleviate this bottleneck. I am not familiar with the history of the 2am to 6am limitation, but I assume it is a request from Madison. -- Douglas H. Price Analysts International Corp. @ AT&T Bell Laboratories ..!ihnp4!ihlpa!dhp
