I'll reconfigure my pager settings and when the hurricane knocks out our power tommorow  I'll let you guys know if the "-q" option worked...  I think my problem is that the daemon wont recover by simply trying to restarting it.  I have to reboot the whole system to get the daemon , the OS, and modem to talk to each other.

You can.  I said so before.  That feature was added as part APAR IY29166 in 7.1.2.
The conclusion of that APAR reads as follows:

The paging queue on Solaris is still fixed, but the default                    
size has been raised to 500 pages.  In addition, a new option,                  
-q <size> , has been added to the nvpagerd daemon                              
on Solaris.  The user can set this value to whatever size is                    
more suitable for him.                                                          
Users who wish to set their own size limit should                              
edit the /usr/OV/lrf/nvpagerd.lrf file and add the -q <size>                    
option there, just as they might add the -d or -w options for                  
debug tracing or using the warm file.  It is then necessary to                  
ovstop nvpagerd, and do first ovdelobj /usr/OV/lrf/nvpagerd.lrf                
and then ovaddobj /usr/OV/lrf/nvpagerd.lrf to change the options                
before starting the daemon again.  A new message has been added                
to the nvpagerd.alog file which documents the queue size in use.                
Note that the use of this new option has not been added to the                  
serversetup dialog at this time.                                                
This fix is first available in NetView for Solaris Version                      
7.1.2.

I am using Solaris 8 with NetView 7.1.3.  i do remember seeing another
message that stated a limit of 500.  i wish I could change this.

>You didn't say what version / platform. I don't believe this is a problem on AIX but it is on solaris prior to release 7. In release 7 the queue was expanded (and I think can have size changed). I believe the reason is that on Solaris they use the shared memory feature which architecturally different than AIX. Somebody jump in here if I'm off base. The default size for Solaris is 500 pages I think.
