           DECnet/SNA Gateway-CT needs at least one DECnet Phase IV node
           on the same Ethernet Local Area Network to act as a load host.
           That system must be a VAX or RISC-based system running the
           VMS or ULTRIX Operating System.

           Every load host on which the DECnet/SNA Gateway-CT software
           is installed must contain:

           o  A valid system configuration for the relevant operating
              system and the appropriate DECnet product. Refer to DEC-
              net and appropriate operating system Software Product De-
              scriptions (SPDs).

           DECnet/SNA Gateway for Channel            SSA 29.76.02-A
           Transport, Version 2.1

           o  A supported connection on the same Ethernet LAN as DEC-
              net/SNA Gateway-CT.

           o  An appropriate device available to read the software dur-
              ing installation - Magnetic Tape, TK50 drive, or CDROM.

           Disk Space Requirements:

           Disk space re-
           quired             VAX/VMS 4,800 blocks
           for installa-
           tion:
                              (2,400 Kbytes)
                              VAX/ULTRIX 5,400 blocks
                              (2,700 Kbytes)
                              RISC/ULTRIX 6,360 blocks
                              (3,180 Kbytes)

           Disk space re-
           quired             VAX/VMS 4,600 blocks
           for use (perma-
           nent):
                              (2,300 Kbytes)
                              VAX/ULTRIX 5,100 blocks
                              (2,550 Kbytes)
                              RISC/ULTRIX 6,000 blocks
                              (3,000 Kbytes)

           These counts refer to the disk space required on the sys-
           tem disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary
           depending on the user's system environment, configuration,
           and software options.

           In addition to disk space allocated to the DECnet/SNA Gateway-
           CT software, some disk space (approximately 8K-10K blocks)
           should be reserved for any dump files that may be generated
           by DECnet/SNA Gateway-CT. The location of these dump files
           is determined by the system administrator. In addition each

           Transport, Version 2.1

           Gateway-CT configured will require additional disk space (at
           least 40 blocks (20 Kbytes)) for configuration scripts.

           Communications Hardware Required:

           DECnet/SNA Gateway-CT software runs on the DEC ChannelServer
           or DEC ChannelServer II, which are available in the follow-
           ing forms:

           o  DESNA-AA for use with 120V AC power supplies

           o  DESNA-A3 for use with 240V AC power supplies

           o  DESNB-AA for use with 120V AC power supplies

           o  DESNB-A3 for use with 240V AC power supplies

           The DEC ChannelServer and DEC ChannelServer II have built-
           in Ethernet LAN controllers, but need a suitable connection
           to connect to the customer's Ethernet LAN along with any ex-
           tension cables.

           S/370 Bus and Tag cables (with terminators if appropriate)
           for connection into the S/370 system.

           Note: A raised-floor environment is required for installa-
           tion of a DEC ChannelServer II system.

           Other Hardware Required:

           o  VT series terminal for diagnostic use

           o  IBM Hardware Support

              The DEC ChannelServer hardware has been tested and war-
              ranted with the following IBM and PCM hardware config-
              urations:
