PROCEDURE NEWLNK; EXTERNAL; {*USER* This procedure processes net link requests. Called from DoMail, it determines if a slot is available, and either accepts (and initializes) the link for that slot, or rejects the link if none is available. A future version will employ least-recently-used techniques to always accept a (non-duplicating) link by dropping a 'stale' link when necessary. This version simply rejects the request. Note that one link per remote node/router pair is required for all message traffic. This procedure will reject a link request for which an active link exists. }
