by using the ports that you have designated.

example: /dev/ttySx /dev/ttySx

Information will be read from named /dev/ports on request for the

ERRORS:
-------

Errors from metserver will go to /tmp/metserver.error file, /var/log/syslog,
and an email will be sent to the operator. metserver WILL NOT exit on errors.

PROBLEMS:
--------

If you get an error regarding the metserver and/or the metclient, that you
can't correct and you want to stop either or both of the programs you will
need to kill the metserver and/or the metclient manually. They will not exit

  whichever is running at the time:)
