Tim,
I am running DEChub 90's. Does the brouter work there or require the '900 platform? Actually I have extra power supplies come to think of it. Does the brouter require any special cabling? Thanks!

Tim,
The short form... DEChubs are us. I have both the backplanes and the MultiStacks. They currently have hubs, LAT servers, and dedicated LAT printer modules. I even have the Packet Probe module with software...
That should work nicely.
Regards, Tim.

Hi Hans,
Not really. I think it was Brian Hechinger that started it. I joined in almost straight away as I had an old DECbrouter 90T2a and a long history of working with them.
Regards, Tim.

It depends. A Cisco 1841 with nothing in it (just Ethernet interfaces) can be as cheap as $50. The DECbrouters can be as low as $20. The only killer about the DECbrouter is that unless you have a DEChub or MultiStack, finding one with a power supply is a pain. If you have a DEChub (or MultiStack), then I can ship you one for free in a few weeks. I have appropriate versions of software for all.
Regards, Tim.

Hi Steve,
They are just Cisco (or DEC-branded Cisco) routers that are connected via a mesh of GRE tunnels. The tunnels themselves only run DECnet over them (Phase IV, although OSI could be done). I now use a Cisco 1841. However, I previously used a DECbrouter 90T2a. I know that others use various other models of Cisco routers 3000 and 7000 series, I believe.

My fault. If you talk to dimma in area 59 it should say;
decnet node-type area
Hi Peter,
I would love to get tunnels up and running to your part of the world. We did talk about it about 6 months back, but nothing ever came of it. Are you still interested? My endpoint is 120.146.225.243.
Regards, Tim.

Cisco routers with the DECnet routing software installed.
