While it is true that HP does not officially support Alpha's as routers (according to
their web site), it works just fine! I suspect, but do not know for sure, that this
was more of a marketing ploy to push Itanium over Alpha. If you go the emulated route
(i.e. VAX 3900) this becomes a non-issue as VAXen ARE supported as DECnet routers.
