Re: QINACTITV does not appear to be working

We do that too and only key folks (me and the Controller) can get signed on 
when QINTER
is down.

All you really need to do Dan is create a subsystem description (we are Lee 
Supply Corp.
so ours is LEE_IS) and the do an ADDWSE (Add Workstation Entry) for the devices 
you want
to have the capability to get a sign on screen when QINTER is down...
