          Architecture (DNA) for the OpenVMS operating system hard-
          ware. DECnet-Plus networking software provides true network
          independence-you get the full functionality of DECnet Phase IV,
          as well as DECnet enhancements, plus full TCP/IP connectivity
          and OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) functionality.
