Can we connect the terminal                                                     
server 7318-S20 to a Dec Alpha in a DecNet environment                          
without any RISC machine installed?                                             
                                                                                
                                                                                
ANSWER                                                                          
    Unfortunately, the 7318 has not been tested on the DEC Alpha.               
    Therefore, we cannot guarantee that it will work in this                    
    environment.  However, I can give you the following tips on                 
    loading a 7318 from a Non-AIX host.                                         
                                                                                
  1.  You will need to insure that your network supports the                    
      BOOTP protocol.                                                           
                                                                                
  2.  You must copy the 7318 software onto the non-AIX host.                   
                                                                                
  3.  You will need to store the load host name, the boot file name             
      and path, and the 7318-S20's IP address in the NVRAM on the               
      7318.                                                                     
                                                                                
  4.  You will need to enable the tftpd daemon on the non-AIX                   
      load host.                                                                
                                                                                
  5.  Finally, the DecNet environment must support TCP/IP on an                 
      ethernet LAN if you are going to use the 7318-S20.
