***> From: "V6550C::YOUNGDALE" <youngdale%v6550c.decnet@nrl.arpa> ***> ***> "VMS will be withdrawing support for the DEQNA adapter in the future. ***> Support will be continued for at least one year. The DELQA adapter is ***> the recommended replacement for the DEQNA" This was originally mentioned at DECUS-Cincinatti during one of the general network sessions (I think). The reason was that the DEQNA does not hold up well under heavy loading. DEC wasn't specific on the effects, but it sounded like if you push the board it stops working. ***> Does anyone know _really_ how long DEC will support the DEQNA? The comments made were that the support will continue for a year, and then the driver will continue to ship for some time after that (Without Support). When it gets dropped from the VMS kit is unknown. ***> Eric Youngdale John 'Fast-Eddie' McMahon Ass't System Manager - COBE Science Data Room NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, Maryland, USA xrjjm%scint.span@star.stanford.edu (Arpa) SCINT::XRJJM (Span) FASTEDDY@IAFBIT (Bitnet)
