    I was told by the Product Manager that V11 would be available soon but
    I have not seen any official or unofficial pointers or anouncements.

    		Chuck has been assimilated by the Borg... Resistance is
    futile.. 
    
    	Actually, I haven't been working with the DECbrouters at all for
    tha last 6 months or so, since I moved to IP Switching (The
    Ipsilon/ATM/IFMP stuff). Neil Sheehan is the DECbrouter person- I'll
    see what I can find out about 11.x, though, as it should have been out
    by now- I'll post what I can find out here...
    
    		take care,
    
    -Chuck

    Hello Chuck, I knew you were off to another project, just joking when
    I said "where's Chuck". If I do not see any info pop up this week I'll
    contact Neil.
    
    thanks,

Documentaton

 The 11.1(6) kit is available for customers with a valid

1273.6A Dearth of s/w support contracts...FOUNDR::OUIMETTEZat was Zen, Dis is Dao...Mon Mar 03 1997 15:0332
    	Joe,
    
    I just checked with Neil, and here's the scoop:
    
    	Based on the lack of *software support* contract sales for the
    DECbrouter (something like only 5%, last I heard), a decision was made
    to limit customer distribution of 11.x DECbrouter kits to the formal
    SSB channels (the SSB was given 11.1(6) in January). Though 11.x is 
    certainly available for internal use, it was decided that having the 
    software publicly accessible on FOUNDR (as previous kits were) would make 
    it too easy for field people to unknowingly pass it out to any customers 
    who requested it, wether or not they had software support.
    
    	So; If you want a internal kit to load & play with, drop Neil an
    E-mail at FOUNDR::SHEEHAN, and he can set you up... And, if by chance,
    you have a customer with a bug that will be fixed in 11.1, but not in
    10.3, please open an IPMT case to obtain 11.1 for the customer. But 
    please, please, don't send him (or me, for that matter) any FLAMES 
    regarding the above policy (I know you wouldn't flame me, Joe, but others 
    reading this may have more volatile reactions... :^)- The current (acting) 
    product manager is Mike (NETCAD::) Cinnamon, though I just tried calling 
    him to verify the above, and his voice-mail indicates he's out until March 
    17th. 
     
    	Neil also indicated that he will check with the SSB to make sure the 
    kit is now orderable & shippable, and he will update the appropriate note 
    (6?) with the details....
    
    		Regards,
    
    -Chuck O.

1273.8one kit per brouter or what??CHEFS::DAVIES_JWed May 21 1997 13:3910
    Is this kit per Brouter 90 or can it be legally used for all the
    Brouter 90s a customer has? Wasnt the original licence included in the
    hardware?
    In other words if the customer has 60 brouters does that mean 60 kits?
    
    What medium is supplied in this kit?
    
    	Regards
