-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When using the new Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 utility TTXT.EXE, you may get
the following error message:

  Could not activate local TSAP

CAUSE
=====

A transport service access point (TSAP) is the point at which the application
(in this case TTXT, but normally X400GATE.EXE) hooks into the network
transport.

The message indicates that the TTXT utility tried to activate a TSAP, but could
not do so because the TSAP was unavailable (for instance, it was already being
used by another process). TSAPs must be unique for each process running on the
local system. Occasionally, all system TSAPs are in use or otherwise
unavailable.

RESOLUTION
==========

Retype the command line. Specify a TSAP that is available. Otherwise, restart
the system and try again.

MORE INFORMATION
