FLAME ON I wouldn't put a LISTSERV at DDAGSI1. I would start with putting a RSCSV1 at DDAGSI1 - something that doesn't reject files with a sign-off record every 30 minutes. DBNGMD21 can remain connected to RSCSV2, and CEARN to RSCSV1 via the more efficient DMTVMB, and everybody would be happy. I would also put a line monitor there, so that the line gets restarted after a severe link error. DDAGSI1 was down over 50% of the time in the last week (at least, it appeared down in over 50% of the queries I sent). Once we have a stable link to Germany, we could consider putting a stable LISTSERV there. FLAME OFF Eric
