My company has been developing a special purpose DUA (built using 
libdsap) to be used in conjunction with Quipu DSAs.  So far, all the 
DUA testing we've done has been on a machine that had all of Quipu 
installed, so everything has worked pretty smoothly up to this point.  
This statement applies whether the DUA is binding to a DSA on the 
same or a different machine.

However, we would like to port the DUAs to many more machines 
than we intend to have DSAs on (a reasonably natural assumption, I 
would think), and have been looking unsuccessfully for the answer to 
a seemingly simple question.

Specifically, is there a well-defined minimum subset of ISODE (less 
than Quipu) that can be installed on a machine to allow successful 
DUA operation across a network?  And, if there isn't such a readily 
defined subset, does anyone have experience in bringing up such a 
subset?  I've looked all around the documentation, but so far nothing 
has jumped out at me...


Any comments would be appreciated!
