I am hoping to use a microVAX with two DEQNA ethernet interfaces to
connect two ethernets together; the microVAX will have full function
routing DECNET and will pass decnet messages between the two LANs.  I cannot
use a bridge in this case, because of incompatibilities between other
protocols in use on the two seperate LANs.

DEC at Colorado claims this configuration should work; so far I've been
unsuccessful.  The second DEQNA does not autoconfigure; when I manually
connect it with SYSGEN, at the address and vector suggested by DEC at Colo,
the system bugchecks with an "unexpected system service exception" in 
NETACP when I try to set the line state on in NCP.  All I've gotten from
DEC is "Hm...should work..."  Am I missing something obvious????
