Unfortunately, there are still way too many people still using
DECnet Phase IV today. :-(

When VSI was deciding on the priority order for porting the various
layered and other products, DECnet was popular enough that VSI had
to move porting of DECnet Phase IV way up the priority list. :-(

I would love to know how these DECnet Phase IV users get through
a security audit in today's world.
