How are the addresses genned in your HCD? The HCD must have two things for an MTL. One is that the addresses must have the MTL "checkbox" selected. The other is that the MTL devices each need the same valid serial number. Now, the system does not actually verify the serial number, but it must be in the HCD and be "proper". This "serial number" is also what is in your SMS configuration. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
