Software Increment Release Notes
================================

Increment ID:   ACN13N16 
Date created:   Feb. 21, 2000 
CSR numbers:     XT00429, XT9A381 

Title:  Remove Dual VLCM Checks


Detailed Description of Increment:  
----------------------------------
This patch will allow customers with a DMS10
with two VLCMs to provison as a single site (only
one RMM).  Previously, this configuration would not
work since the VLCM code couldn't identify which VLCM
was carrying the test session and checks in the code
were preventing VLCM messages from being accepted.
This patch removes those checks, allowing the VLCM
messages to come from the DMS10 without being rejected,
regardless of the VLCM configuration.
