[HECnet] DECnet Area Router question

[Zane H. Healy]

Am I remembering correctly that in order to have a DECnet Phase IV area
router you need to be running a VAX?

Can Phase V act as an area router?

I'm contemplating figuring out what Alpha has the lowest power requirements,
and bringing it online in place of MONK (a very power hungry XP1000 with
plenty of external drives).

Then again a VAX would probably pull even less.   Believe it or not, the
"killer app" that I'm having a hard time living without is DEC Document.
