Re: V4R4M0 & NEWI problems

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

We are currently running backups off of GO SAVE which has an option to END 
*ALL networks, but before we start our Save, we ENDSBS *ALL.  This approach 
is taken because we have consultants who dial in on the ECS line, we just 
installed an external ethernet LAN, and a few users have PC ANYWHERE & other 
ways of dialing in to their office PCs from home.  I want to lock all of them 
out of BPCS during the backup, then control who can get in after it, if I am 
running dedicated BPCS tasks.
