In Response To: IDS 7.31UD7 on MP-RAS not able to initialize (BILL FLORENCE)

Wow didn't think MP-RAS still existed.

If you search the CDI archives from around 1999/2000 then I know I was
building a lot of MP-RAS/7.3x servers. You need/needed some very
'strange' settings - hopefully there is something there

Cheers
Paul

Failure is not as frightening as regret.
If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
