	A couple of questions re the DECconcentrator 500:

	1) does it support BOOTP ?

	2) Support for SMT V7.3 (SPD for 3.4A  says 7.2 draft)

	3) telnet support for OBM ?

	4) how far from End-of-Life is this product ?

Larry,

Please contact the Product Manager, Karl (DELNI::PIEPER) off line regarding
EOL plans.  With regard to your other questions:


	1).  BOOTP.  I don't beleive so.

	2).  SMT 7.3 - No, and no plans to upgrade to it (it is a BIG job)

	3).  Telnet via OBM - NO.  The OBM port is a dumb UART with data leads 	
	     only.  It is intended for local terminal connection only.

	Thanks for the fast answers.  These are requirements for a
	Government bid, I could possible get around the Telnet issue, but
	no SMT 7.3 kills the deal.

    not that it really matters at this point but as far as question #1
    "bootp support" it depends on what you want to do.  You can't load
    a new image into the defcn using IP if that is what you meant.
