Hi Kevin,

>After a lot of pestering, I got my System Admin to install 6.0.14 on a system
>earlier today for testing purposes.

Will the new machine take over CONDUIT ingest duties that are now being
done by munchkin.caps.ou.edu?  We are trying to get all LDM-5 and
LDM-6.0.10/11 machines to stop requesting data from top level IDD relay
nodes (munchkin is running LDM-5 and it is requesting CONDUIT data from
thelma.ucar.edu, _the_ top IDD relay node in the US).

We are not to the point of denying LDM-5 connections to top level IDD
machines, but we may be forced to at some point in the future. I am
hoping that your new machine is a replacement for munchkin.  If it is not,
can munchkin's LDM be upgraded?

What is the OS of the new machine?
