From: Kevin Carosso 

In a recent issue of  "Digital Design" (July 1985) there appears the
following announcement:

"Digital Equipment Corp. has announced that DECnet protocols will be
 replaced with ISO OSI international stabdard networking software;
 this will allow intervendor networks with other machines supporting
 ISO or MAP 802.4 hardware and software."

Does anyone know if this is fact or fiction?  I assume that if so
DEC will retain the user-level form and function of DECnet...
