[EHPweb] ppicker on eids servers.

[Jim Luetgert]

Barbara,

	NQS is the NetQuakes server software for communicating with NetQuakes 
Seismographs.  It is loosely based upon getfileII with a bunch of added 
security features. There is an instance of NQS running on each of the 
EIDS servers. They have been running continuously since April, 2008.

	We need to think very carefully about moving NQS to their own servers. 
This entails re-configuring ~70 units that are currently deployed.
