Bill,

I'm pretty sure that the solution you sent me worked with you, but again my ADSM

crashed.

There's one point that I couldn't understand: How does ADSM emulates SCSI
through a LAN connection.

This library has two tape drives connected through SCSI (ADMS detects them very
easily) , but the Library itself (robot) is connected through LAN ! I know that
ADSM looks for the file C:\winnt\ibmatl.conf, but there must be something
missing ... but I
don't know what ...

If you have any documentation about the installation process or any other tip,
please do send me; I'll be very glad !

Thank you !

Alexandre Bicas Caldeira
