	MSU is  considered  a  point product, like LTM, TSM, NMCC, etc.
	It is Digital's answer to OpenView and SunNet Manager.  It runs
	on Ultrix and does a great job of managing SNMP networks.
	DECmcc's  goal  has  alway been to supercede the point products
	and  retire  the  point  products  when  the  right  amount  of
	functionality was in  DECmcc.    The  V1.2  DECmcc product will
	probably have all the  necessary  MSU  functionality as well as
	run on both VMS and  Ultrix.    AS A PRODUCT, it is unclear how
	long MSU will exist.  AS  A  SERVICE  TOOL,  MSU  will probably
	continue indefinately.
	For  more  information, I'd suggest you contact Tony Viola, our
	marketing manager for Network Management.
	JCE
