However, we are dealing with over 2K users and they would have to buy ICQ, right? I don't think its free. I suppose as a real bad solution, we could tell the users to log into the OpenVMS system if they want a warning. The trap could trigger a reply/user warning to their terminal device. I wish there was an easy way.

We provide services to University students. They know how to keep the connection busy. Some are on for long, long periods which is why we are considering the session time limit. >I think ICQ also sends packets once/minute to see if "friends" have logged >on. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David C.
