     DECnet-DOS from the shelf will not run on an HP Vectra without a
     patch.  DECnet-DOS uses interrupt vectors 6a-6e which are used by
     the Vectra for keyboard interrupts.

     With the software patch we have created DECnet-DOS functions exactly
     the same on the Vectra as an IBM-AT.  I have just completed full
     functional testing of this product for both the Ethernet and the
     Asynchronous connections and have found no incompatibity problems
     with the patch installed.

     This patch will be made available to customers wishing to run 
     DECnet-DOS on their Vectra by contacting a Hewlett Packard SE.

     If their are any questions concerning DECnet-DOS on the Vectra
     please feel free to contact me.
