Sutocorrect here is fine with sampsa's name.
HECnet-in-a-box is a neat concept...wouldn't be too hard to implement.

This got me thinking, could just customize a Raspian distro to run the bridge.
Download the image, put it on a SD card and boot. Change network settings and
enter uplink details in bridge.conf. bridge runs automatically in a screen
launched by init (respawned if killed, of course).
Instant HECnet-in-a-box :)

You can bootstrap and use NetBSD pakgsrc on Tru64 I THINK. It lists OSF/1 as
a supported environment, which I think is their way of saying they support
it? I dunno if anyone ever tried it out?
Given bootstrapped pkgsrc you then have all the OSS compiler tools required

Looks like, from searching the changelog for libpcap, that there has been some recent activity involving tru64 (Thu. March 11, 2010.) This is definitely encouraging.
