DELNI is a specific DEC product.  I would prefer to have that term
used only for actual DELNI devices, made by DEC.  The generic term is
multiport transceiver, or if you want to abbreviate, simply multiport.
If we start using DELNI as a generic term, then it's going to be
ambiguous whether people are reporting problems that are specific to
the Digital(TM) brand DELNI multiport or not.
