Good idea. I've been running qmail for years on my BSD boxes. Set yup takes a bit but once stable it's pretty much operator less. Send me questions off list and I'll try to answer if I can.

(coming in late on this thread)
Sendmail of the vintage you're working with is riddled with security
holes, but it's rock-solid as far as moving mail around. It's been
about a decade since I've run it, but one thing to keep in mind is that
you shouldn't really edit the .cf file directly, but use the .mc files
(IIRC) which are processed by m4 to generate the .cf file. One can get
Sendmail up and running pretty easily that way.
If you decide to keep hacking on it, I can probably help; I wrangled
Sendmail for many years in a large-scale ISP environment, but I'm pretty
rusty at it. I switched to Postfix around 2004 or so.

Of course it is. Did anybody write some kind of catalog for DECnet?

I've been thinking we should maybe set up our own IP network as well (that you can VPN in to), I'll soon have the equipment + bandwidth to do this.

I can't say I see a need for a private TCP/IP network setup.

It works for me and the 8-10 other links that depend on their connection

Then you're very lucky. I had nothing but trouble.
There are quite a few people on HECnet using Multinet -
anybody else besides Paul have problems?

I would suspect GRE (I have never had luck with it in the past when I tried). The bridge will run just fine on FreeBSD, or so I seem to remember atleast. And the bridge also picks those same protocols...
