There was a lot of initial confusion, but it went away in about a week. 2. We didn't know what to do about command restrictions so we left it all hanging out (2.14). 3. Yesterday (or over the weekend) it turned out that some bright light had managed to call all of the terminals through a relay of others so that they were all tied up. Since somewhere in this mess, the software went into a snit, we did a double reset on all the t-boxen in the GTR. 4. At the first chance today, I got rid of most of the commands on these t-boxen and turned listen off on all ports. This makes these terminals strictly outgoing. 5. I am now waiting for the other shoe to drop.
