In 1994 a permanent ALLOW feature was voted # 7 by the Interex Systems
Improvement Committee (SIC).  There was a discussion on this list in Oct.
1994 on how this might be implemented.
 
At IPROF'95 a permanent ALLOW feature was voted # 3 by SIGMPE.  I have saved
all of the comments related to this feature and we are getting ready to
design/implement it.
 
If you have an interest in being a beta customer for permanent ALLOW please
