    My dictionary defines "default" as "failure to meet an
obligation". Because defaults are a bad thing we don't use them.

    Evidentally there is a bug in the VMS V4.4 NETACP which requires
that EXECUTOR MAXIMUM LINKS be set to 32 or more when using the alias
node feature. We had it set to about 10 or 15. I seem to recall the
default is 32.
