Re: Determination of the Correct ESM Id
There was a posting back in October last year under a thread heading of A Security SubSystem question in which Mark Zeldon said that for the purposes of his IPLINFO facility he tests for the presence of ACF2 in this the RCVTID field.

FWIW, DBLT was the RCVTID of the DeadBolt security product that Barry Schrager once was a part of.
