Hello!
Yes you do. With company in fact........ (Not explaining that one on
list.) Now can you supply your instructions to doing everything?
Especially since I seem to follow everything as to the first time I
went over it, with the original author in fact, and using a 3COM 3C509
-COMBO card on the hosting machine and targeting the terminal server I
mentioned earlier. The Ethernet traces I kept generating seemed to
indicate I was coming close. But I never saw the prompt on the
terminal emulator. Same thing here. Both with the hub directly
connected to a port on my regular router, and also to the computer
with a separate networking device.
My only problem is now that of MMJ cables. The two I have are showing their age.

FWIW, I do this regularly at the museum with several DECserver-300s and a Linux VM,
running Ubuntu 12.10 running the standard-for-then DECnet stack. Works great. I use LAT
on it more than anything else, though. Just a data point.

Hello!
I can well imagine that. Hence my comment. I've got an ongoing
idea/issue/problem with trying to get a DEC Terminal Server Model 90L
family member to communicate with a running example of Linux and the
DEC Networking stuff. Shortly after buying an Ethernet hub, who had an
AUI port in front and a COAX one in back, and regular RJ45 style ones
also on the back, at VCF East, I did make an effort. I'll probably try
again both on that Dell I mentioned and eventually via the Pi and an
appropriate kernel..
I certainly don't think we are chasing frustrated zebras here, but for
me it sometimes seems like it.
