There is an upgrade path available.  It is $660 (vs ~$4k).  Please contact
your DEC Sales Rep.  It is available through Module Mailer Only, out of the
Customer Return Center.  (don't contact me, though, that's what your Sales
Rep is for)

This deal is valid from Jan 15, 1990 - Jan 15, 1991, and you need to return
your DEQNA within 60 days of receipt of your DELQA.
If you are a contract customer, installation is ~$100, otherwise ~$350.

Apparently, i am one of the first to order this, as the guy i spoke with
on the phone assumed i was an internal DEC employee.  Make sure they know
you are EXTERNAL, since turnaround is 5 days, vs 120 days for internal
customers.

I have received my DELQA, and just need to get it installed.  It *IS*
the long awaited Upgrade path as it is mentioned in the VMSMail notice
sent to tech Sales Reps.
