    Hi,
    
    An ISV has a as255. He runs Digital UNIX with no problem on it. He
    installs VMS 6.2 on it and he can't get DECnet and/or UCX running on
    it.
    
    
    >>> ewa0_mode twisted_pair
    
    When he tries to start DECnet he gets:
    
    $ @netconfig
    DECnet starting
    Operation failure, device is not in configuration
    or not available
    Unrecognizable component circuit
    circuit = ewa0
    
    $ sho dev/full ewa0:
    Device DE435 is offline, network device, a template only.
    
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

The AlphaStation 255 is not official supported in V6.2, due to the 
inclusion of the new built-in ethernet adapter.  Upgrade to V6.2-1H3 and 
the built-in ethernet will work correctly.

    Thanks for quick reply. I told him to call our support line and order
    V6.2-1h3 or V7.1
    
    Thanks again.
