	Hi,
	My customer is looking for:
	An FDDI controller  for a 3800 Alfa VMS running VMS 1.5 capbable to use 
        full duplex FDDI on a Gigaswitch.
	VMS 1.5 is a must.
	Now:
	1. Are DEFTA-AA/DA/UA supported by VMS 1.5 (I suppose not, but please   
           confirm)
	
	2. Can I use the 'old' DEFTA-FA ?
           Is it still delivered ?
	Thanks 
		Robert

DEFTA-FA.

No.

Its the only one that you can use with V1.5.  I don't know if it is still shipping.
Note that FDX is enabled by default on the DEFTA.  The driver does nothing to enable
or disable it so it remains enabled.
