How about a DECnet/SNA gateway router? We are about to try to bring up the DECnet router here, but we're not sure if we have the right equipment. What we have is something called a DECSA-FA, which is the hardware for the SNA gateway. What we *should* have is a DECSA-EA, which is the DECnet router hardware. Near as I can tell from the descriptions of each of these boxes, they're very close to being the same hardware. I'm wondering if they only differ in software. Since we haven't ordered the software yet, we may still be able to use this box for DECnet service. Anyone know anything about either of these boxes? /Ken ------- -------
