341.0. "DECBrouter 90 and CISCO router interoperability ?" by NMOSPD::SYSTEM () Tue Aug 17 1993 13:49

    
    Hi!
    
    I have reed the "PRESS_RELEASE" located in 
    		NAC::LENAC_USER:[NETWORKS.HUB.BROUTER]
    about DECBrouter 90 interoperability, and it says "full
    interoperability with CISCO Router because the DECbrouter software is
    fully compatible with Cisco's router software".
    
    So, i think that it is possible to connect one DECBrouter 90 with one 
    CISCO router over a sync. line using HDLC datalink protocol and IGRP
    routing alghoritm for IP routing (and DECnet area routing capability). 
    
    Is it true?
