- Hmmm, On our HPO5 system 'CP Q TDISK' was NOT a class "G" command, it was
- class "B". We did do a local mod to HPO5 that changed it to class "G".
- This was before I tried to figure out 'command class overrides'.
-
- On XA and ESA we have an exec call 'QTD' that sends a 'q tdisk' to PROP
- and PROP has its routing table configured so that it'll allow a 'q tdisk'
- from anybody. Again I suppose all this could be done using the OVERRIDE
- command and making 'q tdisk' a class "G" command...
