| Hi Walt,
many thanks for the information, I recently opened a PMR (2 days ago) regarding
this ( I will ask support to close it).
Drew, for your information, we are using the TDS and the modified netmon since 
May
and we didn't
noticed any influence / problem based on that netmon. Because we had another
problem with netview
we received a patch with a new netmon (which didn't had the TDS part included). 
If
the future
releases /patches of NV/netmon always will include that function as standard -
great !! Then we won't have any problem when receiving a new patch.
