Dave,
This end uses the Multinet Tunnel. It also happens to be connected via the bridge. You can install Multinet at the same time that TCP/IP is but you may run only one of the stacks at a time. This end uses static IP addresses but it will accommodate Dynamic DNS addresses at the other end (for Multinet only). All I need is you IP address. This end is 69.21.253.230. Multinet uses port 700 so be sure to forward as necessary.
Regards,
-Steve

Thank you! I'm told that Steve Davidson runs the big hub
on the US East coast. Ideally I'd like to get online via a
GRE tunnel. Can anyone offer any advice on how to get
started? I don't know the the organizational structure is here.

Right, as the area/node are encoded in the MAC address. I'm pretty sure the MAC addresses will pop out unchanged.
Oh, and you probably need to pass through both 0x6003 and 0x6004.
Oh ok, thanks for the tip!

Ah, and rereading the stuff right now reminds me of why I never got
anywhere with it. I can't seem to understand how you use it for non-IP
traffic.
Even reading the Wikipedia article, it says:
"A GRE tunnel is used when IP packets need to be sent from one network
to another, without being parsed or treated like IP packets by any
intervening routers."
So, it is essentially for IP traffic. It don't seem to be generic enough
for any random ethernet traffic.
Then, of course, you can run any kind of traffic on top of that IP layer
in the GRE tunnel, and it will all be invisible to the outside. But that
don't help when there is no IP to start with...
No, GRE isn't just for IP. You can bridge most any protocol with GRE. I've bridged non-IP-based Windows networks (for a customer) many years ago using GRE over a WAN. The Wikipedia article is poorly worded.
I'll happily go on talking with people interested in this more, but we
might do it outside of this list, since it will quickly become pretty
narrow and technical.
Ok.

It's not ignorance if you've had no reason to know about it. :-) Generic
Routing Encapsulation, a Cisco protocol that implements generalized
tunneling. You can tunnel just about anything over GRE. Most OSs
implement GRE natively nowadays as well.

Dave, I made a kind of map of HECnet. It is actually an excel spreadsheet where each column represents a timezone.
That file is hosted on www.hecnet.eu (IIIRC). With that file you can figure out the nearest hub.
