The DEQNA is likely to continue to work for some numbner of releases.
However it will gradually become less and less effective as you upgrade
your network software and as your netowrk pushes the limits of the
hardware specs.  I amnot sure who told you 5.3 was a magic release.
Its more a matter of DECNET-OSI (phase V) straining it to a level of
performance that some consider unacceptable and the like.    WIth
careful controlof what protocols you use and DECs probable shipment of
"unsupported" drivers for as long as we can convince them to continue.
