Sweet.
We only need to remap at the single border point - everyone in HECnet will see them as one area and everyone in the Italian Decnet will see them as the other area.
Sounds like it should be doable. Yes, a single connection in between, where the remapping takes place. And then we should be set to go.
Interesting how to solve it, though. From the HECnet side, we just need to remap a chosen area that is designated for the italian network. The italian network needs to also do a remapping. Area 1 on HECnet needs to be mapped into some other area on their side. Possibly using the same area as is used for the italians on the HECnet side.
And then, of course, the nodename database needs massaging from their point of view. Which might also be a fair piece of work...

Hi,
I know there had been discussion before about bringing these two together.
Although, I must admit that I didn't pay too much attention to what went on,
just that I don't think it happened. So, tell me to get lost if this has been
suggested or if nobody cares...
Now that we have Cisco routers and DECbrouters on the network, has
anyone considered connecting a GRE tunnel into their network and then
using the DECnet address translation gateway in IOS to map their network to
an area we allocate specifically for them. That way there is no merging as
such, just a bit of "gluing".
Regards, Tim.
If I had a spec for what is needed I could probably also implement what is needed for the user mode router I have written, it would give a little bit of flexibility too as the code is readily available.
Is the Italian HECnet all one area, or are there multiple areas?
As far as I can remember it's all in one area.
Can Cisco's do area remapping? If so, then let's do it, assuming the italians are interested and have some Cisco box.

No. No cleaning up or re-initialization is required.
Yes, the symbols are defined in the kernel. I'm not sure why they fail
to resolve. I've never seen, heard or had this problem.
Could you send the command file that sysgen creates that task builds the

By the way, DLDRV is vectored, so these symbols are supposed to come from LB:[3,54]RSXVEC.STB. Make sure that file do exist.

Yes, they are. Look in http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/www.computer.museum.uq.edu.au/pdf/ for AA-D599A-TC through AA-D602A-TC. Those are the Phase II specs.
