We have been in touch with DEC trying to work out some sort of deal with
the new Ethernet boards and support and such. Basically, the board has
smarts and a fair amount of memory. DEC is initially planning to support
just DECNET on the board. When queried about possible TCP/IP support DEC
responded by saying that they weren't sure what they were doing.

When I read between the lines here, I get the impression that DEC
doesn't want to do TCP/IP, but hasn't really made a decision not to do
it. I suggest that everyone who thinks that DEC should do this should
call their salesman.
