You could make the DECnet Linux tools with with RSX -- Johnny is always complaining they're broken (though they worked for me last I tried) :S

HECnet have been running fine for a long, long time by now. :-)
But there are definitely things to look at.
Ideally if would be very nice to implement an alternative to my bridge program which actually routes instead of bridging. But that would take a lot of work, and I definitely don't have time for that right now.
Ideally it should also be able to talk with the Cisco implementation in this case.
And of course, people could think about writing bridge programs for things like PHONE <-> talk, ftp gateways, and other stuff, if they feel like getting a project. There is much to play around with.

Set that up before you joined HECnet I'm guessing, and forgot it was in place when you did :)

The format is pretty straight forward - you can just type out
CODA::INFO.TXT and see for yourself.

I can't connect to the FAL listener (terminology?) on BUBBLE from either RHESUS or CHIMPY - SET HOST works however..

Yes, I'd second that and anyway, I've rewritten my INFO.TXT now ;)
