Re: MONMSG for Comm Line Vary on/Off Questions...

[Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Carl,

That's what I was thinking/wondering...

I might try the CL program to check lines (I've done similiar things in the past
for other deals) but was TRYING to come up with something quick and simple...

This NORMALLY wouldn't be a problem, but since this is intended for
non-technical/non-I.S. folks I wanted to make it as straighforward as 
possible...

Thanks !

Chuck
