I don't have an answer to that (sorry), but I'd like to add a somewhat
related question to the discussion:  I'm using the portable Channel Access
Server on Windows NT PCs to add our Modicon/PLC information into the EPICS
system.  I have two server PCs, for redundancy, and whenever I launch MEDM
or Probe for one of these channels I get the same error message Natalie is
getting.  Is there any way of turning this off?
