I wrote the original patches for Monitor that enabled those hidden

I haven't had an opportunity to check on newer versions of VMS, but it's
trivial to see if at least some support is still there for them.
On a VMS system, try
$ MON ETHERNET
or any of the other undocumented monitor classes. Then try a command
that definitely isn't going to be there
$ MON NOTTHERE
If the error messages are different - then at least some of the support
for the undocumented classes is still there.
Yes, Lee. The fun will come in trying to find where to change the mask
values in the Alpha and or Itanium code stream to not mask off ETHERNET
response. I can surely do this but I have been busy working on paying
projects, dealing with post-Sandy damages issues, suing Bank Of America
for account fraud, my daughter back in heroin rehab and, over the past
week, the flu -- a nasty strain of flu too. Perhaps, I'll look it over
in the rest of this afternoon since it's already been wasted primarily
on reading the ridiculous BOA settlement offer I just received. Laugh-
ter really is the best medicine! ;)
