Jim,

The ACCEPT command was deprecated in ldm4, not needed in ldm5. The
REQUEST is the only command needed, except if one is receiving WSI data,
then leave in the ACCEPT. That's because WSI is using ldm4 protocols. To
avoid confusion/conflict, comment out all ACCEPTs except the WSI ones.

The reason to have ALLOWs for your feeder is so they can check if your
site is receiving data. The feeder sites have ALLOW to your site so you
can REQUEST data.  Also, leave the ALLOW in for unidata, this help us in
debugging problems accross the network, where to find the data outages.

Hope this helps,
Robb...
