The DECserver 900TM may load over the network or may load from an
optional Flash RAM card. The software image is the same one that
supports the DECserver 700. The management and user interface of the
DS900TM software is exactly the same as the DS700, DS90TL or DS90M.

I'm not sure how to answer this. The management and configuration of
the DECservers is really independent of any PathWorks issues. Where
they intersect is in the use of the SLIP data link for V5 PathWorks
TCP/IP stack, for use in dial-up network access. The SLIp support is
new to the PathWorks V5 client software. Otherwise, you'll have to ask
this question again. As to licenses, the DECserver software licenses
are bundled with the hardware. If you purchase a DECserver with
sufficient memory to run the software (and the DS900TM ships with 4 MB)
then the DECserver Network Access Software license is included.

Dave
