Something is not setup correctly on your PhaseV node.  I would post
a question in the DECNET-OSI_FOR_VMS notes file asking how to correct
the problem.  Actually it looks like two problems.  One, the node is not
sending back its address information for a show request, and two, the
TYPE field of the Implementation set isn't being sent back.

Apparently NCL handles the second problem by displaying a question mark.
In MCC, the translation code expects this info to be returned so that it
can go to the MCC dictionary and decipher the data.  The message
"no corresponding entity instance exists" is the result of not having the
proper data returned by the entity.  I suppose that doesn't look very
pretty and I'll take a look at how difficult it would be to return a better
message.

In any event, it is the DECnet implementation which is not sending back
complete data.
