DECnet protocol description ?
#364

Is some information about the Decnet protocols (including LAT)
available ? I often read messages showing that people is very well
informed about packet formats and such issues, but never found a
complete description of the protocol (kind of RFCs, as they exist
for TCP/IP). Does Digital sell the specification for reasonable
prices ?
	Thanks
	Luigi

Digital has historically sold the specifications -- the problem has
been finding the product number.  I used to have friends at Digital
tell me the product number (printed on the cover of the manuals) and
then call my local salesman and ask for a copy.
