Customer will upgrade his system from V5.5-2 to VMS V6.2. The system is
a load host of DEMSA and run X25 router software. He also run SNA software
on his system. He would like to ask the following questions.
1) Does the DEMSA support DECNET/OSI V6.3 ECO5 under VMS V6.2 ? As I know
the X25 router 2000 software is only supported under VMS V5.5-2. Can it
work on DECNET/OSI V6.3 ?
2) If not, Does it have another software that can use DEMSA under DECNET/OSI
V6.3 ECO5. If it has another method, can it support SNA/VMS software and
SNA LU 6.2 and SNA 3270 terminal emulator ?
3) If DEMSA is phased out. Can customer only use DECNIS ? Because customer
feels that there is low performance on DECNIS. Does it have another
faster DECNIS model ?
4) Can customer use syn board to transfer SNA data. Is it faster than DECNIS ?
Any advice should be appreciated.

Both X.25 router software and X.25 Gateway software are no longer
supported on the DEMSA and the DEMSA is no longer sold as hardware
(AFAIK).
So whatever your customer does with that box will be unsupported.
It has been some time since I have played with software this old, but
my recollection is that you can get both to work on DECnet-Plus
systems. I certainly have both loaded on an OpenVMS V7.1/DECnet-Plus
V7.1 system. I believe that a certain amount of handtweaking was
necessary.
I can't comment on the SNA issues except to say that I don't think the
SNA team can use a DECnis instead of a DEMSA.
