Well, I learned something.  Sort of odd, though, that we *all*
pronounce these unpronouncable strings of letters in the same way:
"CP Services Manager," "SNA Services Manager," "CP Server Manager."

So our response to Randy on this comment will have to be "No, this
isn't an acronym or abbreviation."

Re: Note from TREMBLAY

Gary,

Now I'm curious:  do "CPSVCMG" and "SNASVCMG" have recoginzed expansions
in the architecture, or are they also just 8-character strings that
everyone miraculously pronounces the same way?

Re: Note from you attached below

There is no official acronym - it sorta stands for CP-to-server (CP-SVR)
manager - but don't publish that in the MIB.

Re: Note from SMTP4 at IINUS1

Ed,

What's the official story here:  is "CPSVRMGR" an acronym, or just
8 letters that constitute a mode name?

I'm not clear that CPSVRMGR really stands for anything.  It's not really
an acronym, but rather those 8 letters are what the mode name must be.
I looked in an old version of the DLUR architecture and nowhere did I
see CPSVRMGR spelled out to english words.  If someone can point me to
an official expansion of this, I'll do it, but I can't find it.
If it doesn't exist, let's not put it in the mib.
