    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------

Hi,

UCX (TCP/IP Services) v.4.0 has a problem with subnet masks that are not
byte-aligned.  The messages broadcast that way are bad and are never seen
by receivers across the network.

As an example of the failure, I have a node 160.101.95.109 with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0.  It works fine.  If I try to isolate the traffic to
the 95-net by using a subnet mask of 255.255.224.0, it does not work.  The
same mask works fine on an HP-UX machine.  It also fails on the VAX.

System is running Alpha VMS v.6.1, UCX v.4.0.  I have downloaded patches
but do not see any mention of subnet, netmask or broadcast in the readme.
Should I patch the software?  Do you know of this problem?

Louise

    Louise,
    
        I wanted to drop you a note about the UCX issue you reported to the
    ALPHA 
    developer support account.   I have read your note and have not seen
    this 
    behavior.  I will investigate for you the problem.   What patches have
    you 
    downloaded and if I read your note correctly, you have not installed
    these.  Is 
    this correct.
    
    regards,
    john talatinian

    Hi,
    
    Thank you for your note.  I have pure v.4.0 on both the alpha and the
    vax
    exhibiting this symptom.  Yesterday I downloaded patches from the
    service
    site but I have not yet installed them.  I want to do backups first.
