You would need to do a full NAT to the DECbrouter90 as GRE although IP does not have a
normal IP port in the IP packet so PAT doesn?t really understand GRE.
My Decbrouter90 is attached to a Cisco 1841 which performs NAT to the outside world. So I
map a single IP to the Decbrouter90. There may be a better way to do this but I gave up
trying as due to it not having a TCP port the firewall also doesn?t understand so I just
found it easier to pass everything to the decbrouter.
T1 or T2 doesn?t matter as they just dictate how many WAN ports and what interface types
are supported, there is a matrix in the manual.
The PSU I have on the Decbrouter is a H7827. The Hub 5 in my opinion is not good for
anything other than very basic connectivity.
As I said if you need help just let me know.

If I can use a DECbrouter90 on my existing LAN/Net connection to handle the GRE
tunnelling that'd be pretty neat. What does it require in the way of port forwarding
or is that unnecessary?
Also, looking briefly, is a T1 or a T2 better or is it not important? The only difference
seems to be 1 rather than 2 big multiplugs on the front?
I have a Draytek router here that only does ADSL but it has a an Ethernet WAN port wth
PPPoE so I can easily lash it to an OpenReach modem, I think. I think that might be one
strategy as it's a lot more network admin friendly than a Hub 5.
You can get a DECbrouter for not a lot on Ebay
but remember you will also need a PSU for it as well.
Looks like the same setup as the DECserver 90 series? If so have a 90M I can borrow a PSU
from and I know how to wire the plugs for them :)
You could also use a Cisco emulator under linux.
If you go that route then I can certainly help with configs etc.
I may have looked at this before but I got very confused D: I've no experience on
Cisco equipment, so it might make an interesting learning exercise but I'd be starting
at basic idiot level :\
