Right.  It works if you install HDB on Top of ATE.  Problem comes only
if you have to do a system restore.  You have to put the HDB on last..
after you put the phone manager, and ATE.  The reason is due to some
UA specific stuff from the phone manager like: /usr/lib/ua/Phones.form,
/usr/lib/ua/Phonesinit.for, /usr/bin/Phones.sh, /usr/bin/Phonesinit.sh,
and from ATE: /usr/bin/CMB232.sh, /usr/bin/RS232.sh,
/usr/lib/ua/CMB232.menu, /usr/lib/ua/RS232a.form, /usr/lib/ua/RS232b.form
/usr/lib/ua/RS232d.form, and /usr/lib/ua/RS232e.form.
The versions of these which come with Phone manager, and ATE must be
replaced by the HDB versions.  That's all.  Actually, if you can set
things up without using ua, no problem.   All I did was to remake the
ATE and Phone Manager installation discs using the HDB ua files above
instead of the ones that came on them. That way, it doesn't matter if
you put the ATE disc or Phone manager on top of HDB or not.  If you
have to remove a package, you can just put it back in instead of
having to put it back in and then put HDB back in on top.  Pretty
simple really.  (while I was at it, I also put the pertinent Fix disk
stuff on the discs as well.) I used them alot until I got the tape
drive. :-)
