Hello all!

I am working on a project for monitoring remote VMS systems and have hit
a snag that the big gray wll has not helped me on.  I want to capture OPCOM
messages and send them back to an Ultrix machine's syslogd.  I have the
transport mechanism in place and I figured that all I would have to do is
create a mailbox and give the equivalent of
    DEFINE/USER SYS$COMMAND MBAxxx:
    REPLY/ENABLE
The result of this is nothing.  There is no messages about "Operator MBAxxx
has been enabled", no error messages, and $SEVERITY=1.

My question(s):
Can a mailbox device be enabled as an operator terminal?  If so, how.  If
not, can anybody suggest an alternate approach?  I really do want to keep
operator.log in place and I really do not want to read operator.log through
this program.

Thanks.
Doug
