        Recently the VMS system I use was upgraded to VMS V5.0 (5.0-1). When
this occured, a severe problem developed with our DECNET link to the sister
computer, a PDP-11/70 running RSTS V8.06 (I think). Bascially, networking from
the PDP to the VAX works fine - as it always has. However, networking over
from the VMS to the PDP no longer can be done. Due to the limited use of the
DECNET, the administrator is not actively seeking a way to get it fully
running again, but he wouldn't mind it, of course. Anyway, does anyone know of
a quirk that would show up due to the expansion of the two different DECNET
phases? I believe the PDP is running Phase II and the VMS is running Phase IV,
but I could be mistaken, of course. Any help or pointers any one can provide
will be greatly appreciated, of course!
