We used to have a fix in DMKCFC. Now that we are at VM/SP5 put 9002 (NO hpo)
the code has been split so that the fix is in DMKCFB. There is also an update
required to ACIMAP which is a MACRO in DMKRWA.
Basically, you just move MSG and DIAL down in the list so they are not
checked until after logon is completed.
