SUMMARY: Legato Networker and ACSLS (solved)

Finally I got a working answer for my question. To connect to the ACSLS
Server you have to start the "mini_el" and the "ssi" at the Networker
Server. This works with Networker 6 and 7. See also the man pages for ssi
and mini_el.

CSI_HOSTNAME=<acsls-host>; export CSI_HOSTNAME
SSI_HOSTNAME=<networker-host>; export SSI_HOSTNAME
/usr/sbin/mini_el &
/usr/sbin/ssi &

Many thanks go to Torsten Huebler. He created a /etc/init.d/networker.ssi
start script to run before /etc/init.d/networker.
