I'm no longer in the AIPS group.  But I can point you in the right
direction on these issues.

See <http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/aips/aipsmgr/index.html> under the heading
"Problems with the TV, message, TEK and tape servers".  Not having TPMON1
running only affects the ability of other computers' AIPS systems from
accessing your FITS disk area.  If you don't want to let other computers
access this area via FITLD/FITTP, and the same holds true for any local
tape drives, then start AIPS with "aips tpok" (see HELP AIPS).

Hope this helps.
