And reading further down into doc/config.txt it has

"--phase-5: applies only to bridge circuits.  By default, only DECnet
Phase IV packets are accepted from and sent to this circuit.  If
--phase5 is supplied, OSI packets (802.3 format packets with SAP
address 0xFE) are also accepted."

So I retract my previous statement (it's been a few years since I read this).

  Are you sure?  I don't think pyDECnet can tunnel either MOP nor LAT ...

From the pydecnet doc/config.txt file

"--mop: applies only to bridge circuits.  By default, only DECnet Phase
IV packets are accepted from and sent to this circuit.  If --mop is
supplied, MOP, LAT, and loopback protocol packets are also accepted.
This corresponds to the [lat] section in the bridge.conf file for the
original bridge.c program."
