Re: AV Server 1 COM Ports

[Ken Clark <kwclark71@yahoo.com>]

Its really a testing thing.  If you test it thoroughly
and it works, it works.  

I would prefer though if we left standard operating
proceedure stand for the time being unless you or one
of your accounts feels really strongly about it. 
There is a broken timeout value in the GEMS AVOS setup
dialog that is supposed to perform this function. 
I'll try to see that it gets fixed in the forseeable
future.
