If you attach a terminal to the SIO1 line of your DSP, you will see it giving a message something along the lines of " MBX_HELPER not running ... starting one" this is the Sever Process Manager creating a process to run the MBX_HELPER without giving the process a name for the PST program to display. Try putting the line which starts up the MBX_HELPER in the /SYS/NODE_DATA/STARTUP.SPM file closer to the beginning of the file. I have found that if the MBX_HELPER isn't one of the first couple of things you try to start in the startup file then the SPM claims that it has to start one itself. -- David Krowitz ( DAVID@MIT-MC.ARPA or KROWITZ@MIT-MARIE@MIT-MC.ARPA )
