This isn't really a VAX question, but I'm hoping that somebody out there
can help anyway...

We have a DECnet network which is merging with another DECnet network; we
feel that it is appropriate (for several reasons) to change the area number
of our net before making this change.  Two of the nodes which will be
changing are PDP11s.  Unfortunately, nobody here has any DECnet on RSX
experience...

What do you have to do to change the area/node number on a PDP11?  Can this
be done without regenning the system?  Any answers would be appreciated.
