Only Solaris runs NIS+. Digital systems don't know NIS+. The closest you can
come is run your NIS+ server in NIS mode and connect up your Digital systems as
NIS clients of your NIS+/NIS server.

As far as I know, only Sun has ever shipped a NIS+ implementation. Ergo,
your Digital boxes cannot be NIS+ clients.
