You did know, thanks. Another task for VSI, the full implementation of 
IPv6 for Decnet plus and clustering etc. Another question with regard to 
IP. Modern ethernet NICs have offload engines for TCP, IPsec, iSCSI etc. 
Do you happen to know if VMS uses for instance the TCP offload engines 
of supported NICs?
