                 God Rest Ye Merry Network Fans


          (to the tune of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)
                by Bob Bradley, from DEC archives



     God rest ye merry network fans
        Let nothing you dismay
     They just announced DECnet Phase III
        It takes up 80 K!
     It Routes, and Hops and Multidrops
        Your packets on their way.

     Refrain:
             Oh, bad tidings! congestion and line cost!
                Packets can be lost!!
             Oh, glad tidings, we'll dump it all on HOSS!

     It started out with old Phase I
        But no one gave a hoot!
     We added stuff; It's called Phase II
        But yet it could not route.
     Phase III came out; it does it all
        It takes two 10's to boot!

     Refrain:
             Oh bad tidings! congestion and line cost!
                Packets can be lost!!
             Oh, glad tidings, we'll dump it all on HOSS!

     Their names' the same, you know them all
        There' NICE, NETACP.
     There's new ones too, like RMT
        File Spooler, EVP.
     They've all grown up, they're twice their size
        Have fun installing these!!

     Refrain:
             Oh, NO! NETGEN can really be a chore!
                Running out of core!
             Oh, Oh! Routing, it really gives you more.
