My feeble guess is that the code has to check for an entry in the HOME list (which it has to do when it activates a dev/link) that it validates the whole thing. And I bet this is completly intentional because of a related situation: an entry in the HOME list that specifies an undefined link. The TCP/IP code will undoubtedly complain about THAT, too. And in fact there is no activation event that could prompt a"missing link" check so the code performs the check whenever there is a state-changing event for the HOME list. We could ask on the TCP/IP Listserver, but I prefer idle speculation. :-) Pat O'Keefe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
