I've got a question about something I'm fairly ignorant. I would like to
know what are the "issues" (hardware & software) which determine whether
or not a particular brand of machine (read PC) will work on a net using
PCSA-DEC ETHERNET and Wide Area DECNET (with DOS PC's and some different
models of Vaxen). Our systems people are trying to force us to buy one
manufacturer's machines (Compaq), probably because they can get them to
work (on the LAN) without much hassle. Is this an issue of compatibility
of equipment or competency of people?
