RE: All Ports in Use when they are not

["Bill Topritzhofer" <btopritz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I raised this exact issue with III at the last IUG meeting and was met with
general silence. It seems since IUG that III has made more of an effort to
make the situations where user licenses are used more clear, but I think
this is still somewhat of a problem. Especially since we were never warned
that all that was we progressed through Millennium implementation we would
see a much greater use of our user licenses. We resolved the problem by
purchasing Unlimited Web OPAC, but it would have been nice to know that this
was coming.

I've just tested this and find that it does, indeed use two ports.  I was
not aware that this is what happens.  We are just starting to implement our
Millenium Modules now and wish that this had been made clearer us as it
will inevitably impact on how we arrange our procedures.
