      Dear Customer,

      The HP DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS software product is an imple-
      mentation of Phase V of the DIGITAL Network Architecture (DNA)
      for the OpenVMS operating system. DECnet-Plus networking soft-
      ware provides true network independence-you get full DECnet

      In addition, with the installation of separate TCP/IP soft-
      ware, DECnet-Plus gives you the option to run DECnet and OSI
      applications over TCP/IP networks.
