- Is your network primarily DECnet or IP? We looked at Pathworks
- not too long ago, and a significant number of the advertised
- features weren't available over IP, just DECnet. Pathworks (over
- IP or DECnet) also has problems with routed networks rather than
- the bridged model DEC prefers. It (Pathworks) tends to use
- broadcasts for resource discovery, although I'm told that a
- forthcoming version will use directed multicast or a Hesiod-like
- tool to find stuff.
