Is your network primarily DECnet or IP? We looked at Pathworks
not too long ago, and a significant number of the advertised
features weren't available over IP, just DECnet. Pathworks (over
IP or DECnet) also has problems with routed networks rather than
the bridged model DEC prefers. It (Pathworks) tends to use
broadcasts for resource discovery, although I'm told that a
forthcoming version will use directed multicast or a Hesiod-like
tool to find stuff.
