As other have said - welcome.
Thank you!
I looked at GRE several years ago, but could not make head or tails of
it for the requrements of DECnet, so I gave up on that.
Ok. I'm pretty sure Brian told me that some of the HECnet areas were connected via
GRE, but I (or he) may be mistaken. Either way, I know Brian spent some time on it a few
weeks ago but was looking for someone to run some tests with. He seems to have
disappeared (he does that from time to time ;)) but when he comes up for air I can work on
that with him. If we can get it working, we'll share configs etc in case anyone else
needs that info.
The bridge program that I wrote does something more or less equivalent.
Most of HECnet is either using the bridge, or else DECnet over IP on VMS
running Multinet.
Ok. I could install Multinet on my DS10L, but I'm already running the DEC IP stack
on there...not sure if I can remove that and then install Multinet, or if I'd have to
reload the machine. (which would be fine, it's a relatively recent install and I
don't have much on there yet)
I don't know the physical location of Steve Davidson, but I bet he can
tell, and help you get connected...
Sounds good, I'll wait for him to pipe up. Thanks!
