I'm talking about the DECNET for Linux MULTINET UDP tunnelling..
I'm talking about the DECNET for VMS Multinet UDP tunnelling.
Why should be the two different?

Aargh just realised,
Those nodes should've been 52, not 5.
So:
52.555 LABVAX
52.556 KUHAVX
52.600 DEB390

With Multinet you can run DECnet over TCP in the same
DECnet area.

Yes, you are incorrect. There is nothing that requires an area here, and it just means you need to deal with a full blown DECnet stack, instead of a simpler endnode.
It might be worth understanding that there is nothing technical added by going to multiple areas. It is just a complication which allows you to have more nodes, but at the cost of more complex routing.
Even within one area, you can have a large number of hops between nodes. Makes no difference to DECnet. The rules for the topological layout is simple:
1. End-nodes needs to be adjacent to atleast one level 1 router.
2. All level 1 routers in an area must be able to talk with all other level 1 routers. And only level 1 routers route messages within an area, which means you cannot have an endnode in the chain.
The layout can be a star, a ring, a line, a combination, hybrid, or whatever. There are absolutely no topology that you can't have.
The type of links can also be anything. Ethernet, multidrop, point-to-point, or something weird. Makes no difference.
Ok, my bad, misunderstood the UDP Mutlinet tunnels :)
Drop that node and add DEB390 with the address 52.600 when you get the chance.

1. The z/Arch emulator hasn't got any ethenet support, just a CTC point to point link to the host
Area or not makes no difference for this.
2. I'll run MULTINET on both the Debian S/390 and the host
And? Another area makes no difference for this. (I thought Multinet was a TCP/IP stack in VMS... :-) )

Done (Although the area 9 thing is silly, and will probably just make your life harder).
