:>Is Decnet Phase IV going to be supported on Vms v7.1? :Yes, but the support is installed separately from a kit provided with V7.1. While the kit is available, it's `supported' only with an optional contract, it's not generally supported. By default, OpenVMS V7.1 installs with no DECnet, and can optionally install DECnet-Plus during the OpenVMS installation. To choose DECnet Phase IV, one must select no DECnet, and perform a seperate installation of the DECnet Phase IV kit after the OpenVMS installation has completed. Also be aware that DECnet-Plus is backward-compatible with DECnet Phase IV. | |||||

I don't think that's what the customer is asking. I think they are
a long-time VMS user worried by the repeated pronouncements that
Phase IV will no longer be available in some version X, where X keeps
moving out into the future.
When you upgrade to V7.1, you can upgrade the Phase IV support as well.
The customer wants to know whether or not he'll be forced to move to
DECnet-PLUS, and the answer is "no".
