with DECnet Phase IV installed.   I've been going through every document I 
can find, but I can't find anything that talks about setting up a level 2 
(area) router.   What do I have to do different from a normal (level 1) 
router?   I'd appreciate any pointers.   Let me know if you'd like to see any 
diagnostic output.

At the moment I cannot remember if @SYS$MANAGER:NETCONFIG.COM asks something
about configuring a node as an area router, but I'm assuming that it doesn't
ask anything, or you wouldn't be here asking for help. :-)

As a starting point you may just type the following:

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCP
NCP> SET EXECUTOR STATE SHUT
NCP> DEFINE EXECUTOR TYPE AREA
NCP> EXIT
$ @SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET

If I'm not wrong, this should be enough to transform your node into an area
router; then you may want to revise your configuration to tune it better.

HTH, :-)
