Just about every other "classic" ; DEC software is.  It makes for a good general rule however.    ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 18:21:53 -0500 ' From: Dave Froble <davef@tsoft-inc.com> ' Subject: Re: DECnet: reconfigure TCPIP? 0 Message-ID: <11slm8khvbnho55@corp.supernews.com>  / Phillip Helbig---remove CLOTHES to reply wrote: > > In article <11sieglntpfdh4f@corp.supernews.com>, Dave Froble  > <davef@tsoft-inc.com> writes:  >  > A >>>Do you want a default account for the VPM object?
