Hello net,

I have been trying to find a way to get more information about the
configuration of a DECnet than SHOW NETWORK.  It seems that if DECnet is a
multi-area net, then SHOW NETWORK will only list the nodes in the area that
the local node is a part of.  Is there a place to get more info?

While speaking of SHOW NETWORK, the SHOW NETWORK on our system lists nodes
with empty node names.  What does this mean?

One other question:  where is the REAL (technical, nitty-gritty) documentation
on DECnet so I can stop bothering people with questions?

Thank you much,

                                    John A. Thywissen
