I just added ?show active circuits? and ?show active nodes? to the Linux NICE
server. Are there any other functions that are needed? If anyone is interested in trying
it out, the source code is available on github:
<https://github.com/JohnForecast/RaspbianDECnet

Note that the README.Raspbian file documents a change in how to start up DECnet which is
required for the above changes.

Correct. However, there is no need to do both 2 and 3, so worrying about SNMP on TOPS-20
(or RSX) isn't necessary. I can get everything I need from a working NICE
implementation. It can even be somewhat buggy; for example I have a workaround that skips
some of the requests when talking to an endnode because of a RSTS bug. It does have to be
minimally sane: the Linux NICE server is so utterly broken that it might as well not exist
at all.
I guess a number of things might be happening to
build the map, then?
1. Johnny's database gets queried for relevant data
2. A DECnet NICE query is sent, yet these data stores do not have
complete information
3. SNMP query
Yes, I think the idea would be something like that.
