Oh, forgot to mention, with a lan card, if you have libraries scattered all
over 10-buck-2 you have the ability to define all those libraries to a
single environment and monitor their status (easily) from there.
Remember, you don't need drives in an atl to be able to communicate with it.
Example we have 7 atl's in 3 locations across 2 states, we have one utility
server with all 7 atl's defined to it and you may do things like
for LIBR in $(lsdev -Cctape | grep lmcp | cut -d' ' -f1)
do
mtlib -l/dev/$LIBR -qL | egrep -i '(paused|degraded)'
if [ ?$ -eq 0 ]
then
echo $LIBR having problems | mail -s ATL_BROKE
myid@myhostname
fi
done

Hi
Is there great significance in getting LAN card for IBM 3494. I mean what
are the things you can manage using LAN card and also with RS-232 cable ?
