 Hello,
 We study the installation of a Local Network to connect the universities
and Research Center from the Grenoble City (France).
 The accepted protocols are TCP/IP and DECNET; we have no problem with TCP/IP,
but for DECNET , the problem is the routing between the differents areas.
 
  From the CISCO Router's documentation, we have think at this solution.

     Is't this solution available with CISCO Routers ( DECNET Phase IV ) ?
 
     And in the future, what's happens in DECNET Phase V ?
 
                          Thnaks for all suggestions and remarks.
