Re: decnet versions

["Ed Calderon / Eq.Eng ww.Support" <ecc@cypress.com>]

I have missed a few days of e-mail, but I can do testing on different
versions of rsx both M and Mplus.
As I have mentioned before:
I can connect to
 RSX11M + v4.2
 vax MicroVMS V4.7
but cannot to:
 RSX11M 4.1
 RSX11M + 4.8

with the RSX11M+ 4.8 however, I can not access RSX11M 4.1, it will
crash my RSX11M-4.1.
and the RSX11M+ 4.8 can acess the vax and the other RSX11M+ V4.2.
