Johnny,
I'm running Alphas and I have one (MASON) setup as my area router and not
having any problems, using multinet to MIM and LEGATO and being an area router for area
39.
Had a UPS die so its down right now but will be back up in a day or two.
Mike

Sumpratim, an area router is just a more capable DECnet router. It has to be either a
PDP-11 or a VAX. Alpha's does/did not support area routing.
Obviously other gear like Ciscos can also act as area routers.
