(Sorry if you get this twice; it's being sent to two mailing lists.)

	We've just gotten DECnet-DOS V1.1 here and have had varying levels
of success and failure trying to install it on PC's with differing 
configurations.  Has anybody out there experienced similar problems?  Any 
suggestions (whether from actual experience or educated guesses) will be 
appreciated.  Here's our current situation:

- IBM AT, 640K, DOS 3.1, 3Com Ethernet card, color monitor with EGA card,
connected to the Ethernet through a DELNI.  DECnet-DOS works on this guy. 

- IBM AT, 640K, DOS 3.1, Micom Ethernet card, color monitor with EGA card,
connected to Ethernet through a DELNI.  Installation of DECnet-DOS seems to
go ok, but the system hangs when we run the DLL (Data Link Layer) process 
(although it does print some very pretty colored boxes all over the screen 
first).

- HP Vectra (IBM AT clone), 640K, IBM DOS 3.1 (DECnet complained about HP 
DOS 3.1), 3Com Ethernet card, color monitor with EGA card, connected to 
HP's version of a DEMPR, which is connected to a DELNI, which is connected 
to the Ethernet.  This one hangs at various random spots during the reboot 
after the DECnet-DOS installation (DECnet-DOS adds commands to autoexec.bat 
during installation and it is during the execution of these commands that 
the system hangs); we get no pretty colored boxes on this one.

Any ideas?  Thanks a bunch!

(INFO-IBMPC people - please respond to me directly as I am not on your list.
Thanks.)

P.S.  Anybody know of any other mailing list that I might get helpful 
answers from?
