MBX_HELPER -- Establish capability for inter-node interprocess communication.


  MBX_HELPER is a program residing in the /SYS/MBX directory of your node which,
  when  run,  allows  your node to handle interprocess communications with other
  nodes (also running MBX_HELPER) in your network.  Normally, this program  runs
  in  a  background  process, and can be started with the DM commands CPO or CPS
  either from the keyboard or from within a DM startup script.

  MBX_HELPER takes a standard CL command line with the following options:


    -MAXCHAN channels      Specify the maximum number of remote
                           channels to/from this node using MBX.
                           The default is 128.

    -DATASIZE byte_count   Specify the queue data size for each
                           channel.  This is the maximum number
                           of bytes that can be buffered at one
                           time for remote MBX channels.  The
                           default is 1158.
