Hello Friends,

Re: MPE 5.5 Update Virtual Terminals

I was hopeing this information was correct and that we could now
specify the starting LDEV of the NS Virtual Terminal pool, but my
review of the MPE/iX 5.5 communicator leaves me with the impression
that this feature only impacts DTC terminal and x.25 pad Non-Nailed
pools.

IMHO, this functionality does not exist for the NS Virtual Terminal
pool...  The only possible workaround I know of is to configure a
'dummy' DTC with 'dummy' ldev's which fill up all of the holes between
ldev 1 and ldev 21...

I hope someone out here on this list can prove me wrong, or provide a
better solution...    I will be happy to add your name to the SR
1653194050 requesting this functionality if you respond/reply to this
post.
