Hi MaRc,
Lets see, do DECnet/OSI nodes respond to NICE messages? Just as
the phase 5 is required to respond to NICE, if DECnet/OSI is
architected to respond to NICE messages, at the very least
V1.2 Autoconfiguration will be able discover these
nodes.
Does this help?

You turn the question around . What I see from your answer is
that the DECnet Autotopology just use NICE , in that case
it will not be able to found DECnet/OSI nodes , as I assume
this node don't understand a NICE Request (At least my DECstation
3100 that runs DECnet/OSI don't).s
If that's the case , we need asap to modify the drafts
SPD that mention the following information :
