752.0. "Interoperability with Wanrouter90?" by OSLLAV::BJORN (Bj�rn Olav Haugom) Tue Feb 11 1997 11:10

Will the Routeabout products be able to communicate with the Wanrouter90 using
leased line? I can not find support for either HDLC nor DDCMP, but I see that
it supports PPP, so that may work. Any comments on this? Any interoperability 
issues to look for?

752.1Brain dead WR90...MGB::GILLOTTMark Gillott, 831-3172 (rkg)Wed Feb 12 1997 06:1914
Yes both  the  WR90 and the RoutAbout products support PPP, so in theory you
can  connect  the two.  However the PPP implementation on the WR90 is rather
limited,  it  was  intended for use only with DECNIS - primarily Frame Relay
interconnection.   Consequently  it does operate the DECnet PhaseIV NCP very
well.

Provided you  only want IP or are using IP & OSI (I-IS-IS), there should not
be  a problem; you won't be able to get DECnet (PhaseIV) to work (other than
via OSI) between WR90 and RA.

Mail/phone me if you want all the sordid details,
