I don't know about X11 (haven't seen any problems, but don't use it
much except on a LAN... I'm typing this in a Mozilla window being
displayed by an Alpha VMS 8.2/TCPware 5.7-2 (X client) on a DEC Unix V4
AlphaStation 200 as the X server) but DECnet-over-IP (DECnet-5) works
fine with 5.7-2 on both VAX VMS V7.3 and Alpha VMS 7.3-2 and 8.2, where
the remote system is Alpha V7.3-1 (both UCX ?? and TCPware 5.6-2 and
5.7-2), VAX V7.1 with TCPware 5.3-3, and VAX V7.3 with TCPware 5.6-2
and 5.7-2. I.E., I've used a lot of combinations, no problems in either
direction.

On the other hand, IP-over-DECnet breaks in V5.7-2 unless you have
the NETCP_V572P010 patch installed.

Are you using Phase-5 DECnet-over-IP or the TCPware Phase-4 pseudo
device? The subject says "DECnet-Plus", which is the same as Phase-5,
aka DECnet-5...

HTH.
