	Here at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
School of Public Health, we're in the process of connecting our
building-local ethernet to a campus-wide and state-wide extended
ethernet (using a Bridge IB/1 to connect baseband to broadband enets).

Our current DECnet area is #1. We've got 3 VAXen hosts, about 5-10 
DECnet defs for PC's and 10 DECserver 200's, all with definitions in
our DECnet database. What sort of problems should I expect in trying
to change over our area number from 1 to 30?

Any helpful suggestions or warnings would be welcome.
