non-controller applications

I am writing a non-controller device handler. It should look like a GPIB device. The examples of this type of code I've seen in the Developer Exchange use the ibrd command. When I use this command I get an ECIC (not controller in charge) error. I don't want to be a controller, I just want to read GPIB data that was sent to me. Is ibrd not the appropriate command? Or might I be doing something else wrong?
Thanks,
Bob

I went to www.ni.com and searched "+non-controller +gpib" and got several pages about this. The one titled "Computer to Computer Communication via the GPIB" is a good place to start.
