           Installation Information

           Installing X.25 V1.0g requires the OpenVMS Alpha Operating System
           Version 6.2.

           Installation Caution

           This caution applies to customers installing X.25 V1.0g on a sys-
           tem which already has ECO of DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS Alpha in-
           stalled.

           As a result of an error in the POLYCENTER Software Installation,
           installing X.25 V1.0g causes the installation process to re-
           move the ECO. This will leave the system without a SYS$NETWORK_
           SERVICES.EXE and it is not possible to reboot.

           Reinstall the DECnet/OSI ECO using PCSI, after installing X.25
           V1.0g.
