    Hi,
    
    An interesting and complete configuration might be (both on VMS &
    ULTRIX platforms) :
    
    . POLYCENTER Network Manager 200, including :
    
    		. ACCESS MODULES :
    
    			- DECnet/OSI AM
    			- DECnet/IV AM
    			- SNMP/TCPIP AM + Private MIBs integration
    			- ETHERNET STATION AM
    			- COLLECTOR AM
    			- CIRCUIT AM
    			- REFERENCE AM
    
    		. FUNCTIONAL MODULES :
    	
    
    			- REGISTRATION FM
    			- DOMAIN FM
    			_ ALARMS FM
    			- NOTIFICATION FM
    			- PERFORMANCE ANALZER FM
    			- HISTORIAN FM
    			- EXPORTER AM	(without Database Management System
    					nor Graphical Layer Product)
    			- SCRIPT AM
    
    		. PRESENTATION MODULES :
    
    			- COMMAND LINE
    			- COMMAND FORM	(VMS only)
    			- ICONIC MAP	(need OSF/MOTIF V1.1.3)
    
    
    		. OTHERS APPLICATIONS :
    
    			- DICTIONARY BROWSER
    			- DECnet & TCPIP Autotopology
    			- CUSTOMIZED launchable Application
    				(ie, on ULTRIX, 
    					CHIPCOM ONdemandNCS
    					NAT/NMS
    					DECwatch
    					SYNOPTICS LattisView
    					any others...)
    
    	. POLYCENTER Extented LAN Manager ACCESS MODULE
    
    		including
    		
    		- BRIDGE AM		(ie LANbridge 100,150,200
    					    DECbridge 500,5xx,6xx)
    		- CONCENTRATOR AM	(ie DECconcentrator 500)
    		- FDDI-STATION AM	(ie SMT FDDI Management Protocol)
    
    
    You could also add...
    
    . POLYCENTER Extended LAN Manager FUNCTIONAL MODULE :
    
    		including 
    
    		- STM FM, ie BRIDGE Autotopology
    		- FDDI FM, ie FDDI-STATION Autotopology
    
    Please also note that ordering license codes may be different according
    the Operating System.
    
    I hope this will help you.
    
    PS : Because of pricing, you may replace POLYCENTER Network Manager
    200, by POLYCENTER Framework (also known as Director), BUT it is a
    mininum configuration... (ie without ALARMING/NOTIFICATION abilities,
    see Software Product Description & SSA for more information).

    To .2
    
    Selling...	POLYCENTER Network Manager 200
    and...	POLYCENTER Extended LAN Manager AM
    
    for...	ULTRIX or VMS platform,
    
    seems to be a simple business package. To my opinion, it depends on how
    you detect and target the customer needs...
