        The 'Pro/DECnet Tool Kit Programmer's Reference Manual' dated
November 1985 has a diagram showing both Pro350 and Pro380 machines
(both using the DECNA) connected to a VAX 11/780 and VAX 11/730 (both
using the DEUNA) over ethernet. I've not found anything in any of
the documentation which states which operating system it referenced
though.

>As for the RX50's of RT-11 and licensing issues, that's the tricky part.
>You probably don't want to know what a license costs.

        That's what I figured. It sounds like the Pro will be like
my MicroVAX then and retain whatever OS it currently has loaded just
because it's the only thing I have.
