It turns out that somebody (not me for once!) screwed up the order and
actually ordered the VAX version of DECnet Ultrix.  I got a copy the right
tape (3.0A) today and installed it.

NOTE!!!

See Section 1.2.3 in the Ultrix 3.1C release notes when installing the
DECnet/Ultrix software!  There's some diddling you have to do before ncp
will recognize the device name (xna-0) for the DEBNI ethernet controller
used in the 5800 systems.  There is nothing about this in the DECnet/Ultrix
release notes...

After following the instructions given, you still have to do a further
"chmod u+x /usr/etc/dnet_check" if you want to run the check script...

I haven't gotten any clear answer about a "RISC" version of the DECserver 200
stuff yet...
