Jane,

I've cut out one segment from your e-mail that I have a question about:

>This gives you 2 options - either modify the standard

Can you assign a different MLM to take over while the crashed MLM is down or
will netmon not allow this?  What I'd like to do, is if an MLM dies, I want
to assign a new MLM to take over status polling.
