A method is disclosed to control access to stored information. The method
supplies a control unit in communication with a computing device and in
communication with stored information. If the computing device requests
access to that stored information, the method determines if access to the
stored information is available. When access to the stored information
becomes available, then the method reserves a communication pathway
interconnecting the control unit and the requesting computing device,
thereby disallowing the sending of non-MPLF unsolicited status via that
reserved communication pathway, and provides a message to the computing
device, using that reserved communication pathway, granting access to the
stored information.
