   With help and a pointer from Peter, we   ve set up the DECnet over Multinet link between LEGATO and STUPI to use TCP instead of UDP.   It seems to work fine     whether it   s better than the UDP version only time will tell.
  
   It turns out that none of this is magic     it   s all pretty well documented by Process Software.   Just type HELP MULTINET SET /DECNET and you   ll see the /TCP qualifier.
  
   There   s also a    /FILTER_OUT_OF_ORDER    qualifier which forces the driver to drop out of order UDP packets.   Of course, that doesn   t apply to TCP, but it does remove that objection to the UDP implementation.
