7. Cache/NT sites: Once the patch is installed, review the list of 
HL LOGICAL LINKs whose SAY HELO field was set to YES by the post-init, and
make sure they were all links to VA sites, and that no TCP links to VA sites
were left out.  (If the name started with 'VA' it was considered a VA site.)

error when sent to a COTS system.

This patch adds a new field, SAY HELO, to file 870, HL LOGICAL LINK,
so that for every logical link, the Cache/NT site can decide whether or
not to send the initial HELO.  The default will be NO, since it is not
part of the HL7 standard.
                                   ATTENTION

The form HL7 LOGICAL LINK has been updated to include this field.  Only
Cache/NT sites should set it, since it does not apply to other sites,
and will be ignored at other sites.

At Cache/NT sites with patch HL*1.6*39 (which distributed VA Logical Link
definitions) installed, the post-init will go through file 870,
HL LOGICAL LINK, and for every TCP link to a VA site (if the name of the
link starts with 'VA', OR if the link is 'MPIVA'), set SAY HELO to YES.
It will show you which links it has set.  You should review the list and
        Read this patch.  If you are a Cache/NT site, you MIGHT have to
manually correct any which shouldn't have been set, or set any that were
missed.

The post-init will NOT run at:
- Cache/NT sites which have not installed patch HL*1.6*39.
- non-Cache/NT sites.

Here's the new field:

            HELP-PROMPT:    Send initial HELO for Cache/NT TCP links? 
            DESCRIPTION:    This field is applicable only to Cache/NT sites
                            with TCP links.  If you are not a Cache/NT
                            site, or this is not a TCP link, this field 
                            does not apply, AND will be ignored.  

                            If this TCP link is for a VA site, answer YES.  
                            If this TCP link is for a COTS system, answer
                            NO.  This is the default.  


          TECHNICAL DESCR:  When sending HL7 transactions to other VA sites
                            over TCP links, Cache/NT sites must send an
                            initial HELO to overcome buffering issues. 
                            However, the initial HELO is not part of the
                            HL7 standard, and may cause a reject error when
                            sent to a COTS system.
