In my previous follow up message I negleted to mention that a services.net.sys file is also required by the ALLBASE/NET ARPA listener. There is a sample file for the services files as well in NET.SYS. A LISTF @[log in to unmask] will show all the available sample files for ARPA configuration. Each sample file contains instructions for creating the real configuration file.
