[Info-vax] What would you miss if DECnet got the chop? Was: "bad select 38" (OpenSSL on VMS)

[Hans Vlems]

I guess commercially DECnet is as dead as a dodo. 
Functionally, for my own use, three things speak for it:
1 it is very nicely integrated into DCL
2 it allows network connectivity to systems that do not have IP
3 it allows me to configure the IP stack and log on via ethernet (yes LAT dors that too).

I'll stay away from the phase IV / V discussion because it's outside the scope of the question.
