1381.0. "Downlineloading WANrouter over FDDI Interface ?" by FSTSC1::AURAND () Mon Jun 20 1994 03:29

    		< Crossposted also in DECnet/OSI >
    
Hi everybody,

it would be nice, if somebody can give me some information about downline 
loading of the WANRouter / X25Gateway Software over a FDDI bridge from VAX 7000
with a FDDI controller.

I looked around in some notesfiles but still I need some clarification:

1.) Downlineloading the Phase V software for the DEMSA boxes will work and is
    supported over FDDI and a FDDI/Ethernet bridge ?

2.) To load from a DECnet/OSI system you need the 5.6B version ? (I got a trace 
    from a DECnet/OSI V5.5 machine and the downline load request uses a 
    BufSiz=1518; looking in the DECnet/OSI ECO release notes, I read something 
    about a NET$MOP correction which limits the FDDI load/dump segment size to 
    1498)

Many thanks in advance

	Andreas
