After all, what are we going  O to do here other than to compare what you have listed and posted with what ECO  Q kits are available, and comment on it back to you?  You can look up the list and  M provide that same service more directly, and without the associated delay of  P looking it up and posting it here.  The list of mandatory ECO kits is available < on the same server that offers up the FTP ECO kit downloads:      <http://ftp.itrc.hp.com/>  Q    In this case, the current TCP/IP Services ECO kit is also of obvious interest.   E    As you're working at a provider that likely has software services  J contract(s), you can also invoke and use the services tools that look for M missing ECO kits and provide you with a recommended list.  This can make the  N process yet easier for you, and for your employer.  Details on the tools that N are available to you can be acquired via the support center -- RCM/eSMG/WEBES K was the typical proactive service tool-chain when last I looked, but these  ! services tools can and do evolve.    ------------------------------  % Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2006 16:18:36 -0400 ' From: "Main, Kerry" <Kerry.Main@hp.com>  Subject: RE: Wireless handhelds T Message-ID: <FA60F2C4B72A584DBFC6091F6A2B868401912A30@tayexc19.americas.cpqcorp.net>   > -----Original Message-----1 > From: David Gray [mailto:police@spamcop.net]=20  > Sent: August 18, 2006 6:28 AM  > To: Info-VAX@Mvb.Saic.Com  > Subject: Wireless handhelds  >=20 >=20 > =20  > Hello all,=20  >=20 > Alpha server ES45=20 > OpenVMS 7.3-2=20 > Powerhouse 710G1=20  >=20F > We are just starting to look at proof of concept that would allow usG > to use wireless handheld devices with our VMS systems.
