[HECnet] DECnet et al

Mark, When I install DECnet on VMS I always use the DNVETRTG license. This way I do not have to care about the system's role - I may change it at will On another note, the node SGC:: is an emulated system that is always running as an area router. This way I always have a gateway to the rest of HECnet and the cost to run the system is minimal. DECnet has limits as to the total number of area routers so just adding a router may not be the best answer. The HECnet backbone is not at that limit yet... If you were to use an emulated system as a router then it would not matter which of the other systems you brought up - they would all be able to see the rest of HECnet. I should mention though that a cluster with a cluster alias MUST be a router. It can be a level-1 or level-2 (area) though... -Steve
