To whom it may concern,
I have notice a problem with Digital unix version 4.0A with creating
a token ring station using ncl. This problem does not exist on DU 3.2C
or DU 4.0. using the same hardware. I have tried using two versions of
DECnet on DU 4.0A (DNA4.0 and DNA4.0A) it looks like a DU 4.0A problem
I also have to (ifconfig tra0 up) to make the token ring availible once
DU 4.0A is fully booted
