I have no reason to suspect it shouldn't work. But only testing will tell. And the same here - you might need to tweak a thing or two in the source.

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 :)
Yes, apart that there is absolutely no reason to involve screen here. Kick the bridge from init.
I like being able to watch the debug output in screen, but that's just me.

Well, I managed to get the bridge compiled up on Solaris with some minor makefile and include and library tweaks having compiled up the latest libpcap. I am using the opencsw archive for general unix software.
If I run the bridge with debug on I get the following output:
./bridge 4711
Config filename: bridge.conf

Which looks encouraging, but when I try and use DECNET on SLAVE I get the following:
[MSW]SLAVE$ dir mim::

-RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed
-SYSTEM-F-PATHLOST, path to network partner node lost
Any ideas what might be going wrong? I've updated my NAT to point to the Ultra 5 for port 4711.
Regards, Mark.
Hehe!
I didn't even mean to send that, not sure how it leaked out.
Not autocorrect, that is me dictating a message. It works quite well except for punctuation. Not worked that one out yet full stop you know what I mean?
;)
I bet emoticons are tricky as well
I fully appreciate that not using a keyboard means I am an enigma amongst my peers... :D

That'd be neat. STAR69 runs on a Pi with Raspbian and bridge running out to HECnet so it's totally doable. If you could trim the distro down a bit (well, a lot actually) and make bridge run as a service it'd be neat. If you could get SimH to run as a service with a disconnectable terminal and optional between PDP-11 and VAX that'd be even neater.
Maybe I went a little OTT on that one a SD card for bridge on a cut-down Pi linux would be a cool start though :)

Where can I find the hecnet bridge source code?
