 Sun's product, SunLink DNI 6.0, should fill the bill. If you get it, make
sure to ask for the dnimail package with it (they don't tell you they have
the update to the c.sources.sun posting until you ask for it). We're using
it with a MicroVax 3400 and haven't had any problems at all. The only
drawback is that it's pretty limited in the NCP part of it (you don't know
how frustrating it is to define a node then not be able to clear or purge
it..you're stuck with a bogus entry til you re-start the dniserver).
 Supposedly 6.1's in beta or alpha testing right now, so there should be a
number of improvements. Overall, tho, I can't have any complaints.
