compatible with Phase IV?

  It's supposed to be, but I don't know anyone on HECnet who is actually using it.   Many/most HECnet nodes are rather old and can barely manage Phase-IV :-)

MONK originally ran DECnet Phase V, it was *upgraded* to Phase IV right after I got on HECnet.   Things seem to work better with Phase IV.
