Thanks to everybody who responded to my plea for RSX DECnet information.
We got our area number changed with only a minor amount of trouble
(although I never did find out what exactly the RSX folks did.)

The one sticky point I haven't seen mentioned yet turned out to be with our
VMS systems...  The ones in the VAXcluster...  I had forgotten that you
must keep SCSSYSTEMID = 1024 * area + number if you want to make DECnet
happy.  Changing this, of course, means you get to reboot your entire
VAXcluster.  Sigh.  I guess RSX really isn't that much different after all.
