Questions:

Hello Wizard,
I am a computer engineer at NSM - a steel-making company 
in Thailand.

My NTP (Network Time Protocol for TCP/IP) configuration is
not working. I have 2 Alpha servers running VMS 6.2 and 
VMS 7.0. Both machines have TCP/IP (UCX) version 4.0 .
A VMS 7.0 machine has DECnet V and its DTS is active.
I am not sure DTS and NTP can run together.
A VMS 6.2 machine has DECnet IV.

I want to set the VMS 7.0 machine as a time server and 
the VMS 6.2 machine as a time client.
Can you send me a configuration file of NTP - ucx$ntp.conf ?
Do I have to set any logical names ?
This time synchronization is very important to me .
Please reply as soon as possible.

PS. I asked Digital(Thailand) about this problem. 
They cannot answer me.

	DECdtss and NTP are completely seperate protocols, and each node can use one -- but not both -- of the protocols to receive time from a time provider node. In other words, you will need to choose to use DIGITAL TCP/IP Services (UCX) NTP protocol, or to use the DECnet-Plus DECdtss protocol.
