3193.0. "MR and Decnet" by GRIFUN::PISANI () Fri Apr 11 1997 15:38

    Hi,
    
    looking the documentation SPD for Message Router V3.3A I read in the
    software requirements 
    	
    	- Decnet/Osi for Open Vms
    	or
    	- Decnet/VAX
    
    but it's not clear if "end system" or "extended system".
    
    My customer has a VAX with NAS Base Server 200 that contains:
    Decnet Osi for OpenVms Vax End System 
    Decnet-VAX End Node.
    
    If MR needs "extended system" is "Decnet Osi End System to Extended
    Function VMS VAX" the right product ?
    
    Thanks in advance and Ciao
    Danila

	I can't imagine why MR would require the extended system license for DECnet, unless you were going to participate in a cluster and need a cluster alias. In the case of PhaseIV DECnet, extended or full function simply adds routing capabilities along with cluster alias support. For DECnet/OSI prior to 7.1, extended functionality adds cluster alias support some gateways and additional programming support (depending on the particular component of DECnet/OSI). With 7.1 and later, you get Host Based Routing as well. If you did need extended though, the end system to extended license upgrade would be the way to go, since it's cheaper than purchasing a new extended license. --Scott

I can't imagine why MR would require the extended system license for DECnet,
unless you were going to participate in a cluster and need a cluster alias.

In the case of PhaseIV DECnet, extended or full function simply adds routing
capabilities along with cluster alias support.  For DECnet/OSI *prior* to 7.1,
extended functionality adds cluster alias support some gateways and additional
programming support (depending on the particular component of DECnet/OSI).  With
7.1 and later, you get Host Based Routing as well.

If you did need extended though, the end system to extended license upgrade
