[comp.sys.dec] Wanted DECnet class information

jgs@bridge2.ESD.3Com.COM (Jorge G. Serpa) (01/12/90)

    Does anybody know of any organizations that provide DECNET training?

    We're specifically looking for something to guide an implementation 
    - basic architectural description, protocol specs, and/or general 
    information about DECNET based internets.

    We have tried DEC but they seem to only come up with operational/trouble-
    shooting type courses. 

    Please reply directly do this mailbox.

    Thanks

	If you want to implement Phase IV, then the order code for the published

	DECnet-DNA Network Management Functional Spec V4.0	aa-x437a-tk
	.......... Routing Layer Functional Spec V2.0		aa-x435a-tk
	.......... Ethernet Node Product Arch. Spec V1.0	aa-x440a-tk
	.......... Ethernet Data Link Functiional Spec V1.0	aa-y298a-tk
	.......... Maintenance Operations Functional Spec V3.0	aa-x436a-tk
	.......... NSP Functional Spec V4.0			aa-x439a-tk
	.......... General Description				aa-n149a-tc
	.......... Ethernet Specification V2.0			aa-k759b-tk

	The above I typed in from the "Related Documentation" Appendix
	of the 1987 April-June "Networks and Communications Buyer's
	Guide".  It also says to order the architecture specs through
	DECdirect.

	I just found a "1989 July-December" version of the buyers guide
	and it has one additional spec list, but for Phase V:

	DNA Phase V General Description				aa-dnapv-gd

	Have fun!
