DS7.1 retains backward compatibility with previous versions for
the replication protocol (although DS7.1 when replicating with
'itself' will use a slightly different protocol that is significantly more
efficient over high-latency network paths).

Replication protocol compatibility with Sun isn't a supported or tested
feature, but it should work provided Sun haven't changed their
product to make it incompatible since the two codelines diverged.
