Cool.
New programs:
NML2
New implementation of the Network Management Listener. Supports SUMMARY,
STATUS
and CHARACTERISTICS for NODES, CIRCUITS and AREAS. It does not support LINKS
and OBJECTS which were in the old version but are system specific
operations which
were only visible from DECnet-VMS systems.
Um. No. OBJECTS are also there in RSX. And I wonder if you mean LINES
when you wrote LINKS. And LINES are also in RSX. Not sure there are some
other systems that also have those types. But they are definitely not
VMS only... And OBJECTS are actually rather relevant everywhere, it's
just not that all systems make them visible. I would say it's actually
nice and useful if they can be shown. LINES are also relevant, but it
does depend a little on the implementation.
