  Actually, the current board is the DELQA-YM (also known as the "Turbo DELQA"
or the "DEQTA"). The trade-up program was from the DEQNA or the DELQA to the
DELQA-YM. It was (is?) managed by Digital Assisted Services at 800-225-5385,
and it's unlikely that your sales person will be aware of it. I'd suggest call-
ing DAS and seeing if it's still going on.

  As of the last time I looked (November '92) the DEQNA was supported every-
where Ethernet is supported except VMS.
