Hello again,

After my first summary I've got more replies from some of you who
have upgraded their DEC3000 to V5.x.

Here is the outcome of their tests:

- V5.0a OK (Yogesh Bhanu <yogesh_at_gsf.de>)

- V5.1 OK for -300 and -600
         (Selden E Ball Jr <SEB_at_LNS62.LNS.CORNELL.EDU>)

- V5.1a NOK no more support for DEC 3000


Christian.
