able to shed some truth concerning DECnet Phase V supporting
Phase IV and Phase III nodes. I have heard some inconclusive
information regarding Phase V not supporting Phase III nodes,
and providing compatability with Phase IV nodes for a limited
period of time. Supposedly, subsequent releases of Phase V
and/or Version 5.0 of VMS will not support DECnet connections
to RSX11M/M+/S systems. This is most distressing since we have
a significant requirement to want to have this support, such as
for our DECSA boxes.
