[HECnet] Attaching to hecnet

[H Vlems]

DECnet phase IV nodes are backwards compatible with phase III. 
There are no restrictions in functionality between phase IV nodes and phase
V as seen by the unpriviledged user. Area routing may be an issue on Alpha,
and of course ncl is more of a pain to remember than ncp ;-)

Two questions:
1-May I use area 44?
2-Is there a short guide to set up DECnet over IP to connect to HECnet?

DECnet-Plus isn't
able to connect, or at least reliably connect to all OS's that can
potentially be on HECnet. I forget what all OS's I was having issues
with, I know one was RSTS/E v10.1, but I want to say it also included
VAX/VMS. Once I *upgraded* my Alpha running OpenVMS to DECnet Phase IV,
all these issues went away. These were things as simple as SET HOST.

It's probably that DECnet-Plus (Phase V) cannot speak with DECnet Phase 
III (such as on RSTS/E and TOPS-10/20). That's my guess anyway.

Phase V should be able to communicate with VAX/VMS since that's Phase 
IV, which is the gold standard of DECnet, IMHO.
