Like other respondents, I suggest that NPCONFIG be kept as an unnumbered
file with a maximum record length of 80.  In addition, the Native Mode
Spooler Reference Manual says that there should be only one entry per
line.  I'm not sure if this is an absolute requirement, but it certainly
makes the file more readable.

I think there is also a distinct configuration problem because I see a lot
of duplicate IP addresses but no 'TCP_port_number' entries.
