In the current drive and directory you use to connect to the network you should have a file called shell.cfg. Put in a line line FILE HANDLES = 60 to increase the number of network file handles from the default of 40 to 60. You do not have to regen any shells. This is referenced in the Supervisor's Reference manual in appendix B. Tim.
