Nor does RSX. And yes, I have been pondering that as well. It might
happen some day, but it's not that trivial... :-)

FWIW: since the topic right now is IPv6, or at least
related to it... currently pydecnet does not handle ipv6 yet. I'm thinking about
adding that.

Hi Gregg,
PyDecnet is Paul Koning's (he's on this list) DECnet router written entirely in
Python. Here's his response he posted to this last a while back when I expressed
curiosity:
There are some, yes. You can find the code and
documentation -- admittedly somewhat brief -- on my Subversion server at
svn://akdesign.dyndns.org/pydecnet/trunk/pydecnet .
I made a small modification to make it work better with the Ethernet TAP devices debian
Linux offers.

Hello!
Keith can you elaborate on what "pydecnet" is? Google searching for me is not
working because the search engine keeps trying to change my spelling to what it thinks it
is. Johnny as it happens I am no expert on the way Dec hardware even simulated can
communicate, but I am almost one on how Linux does do that. And you are indeed right.

"This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." Very briefly, it's a DECnet implementation
implemented entirely in Python 3, the full stack (including some applications). Phase IV,
but unlike others it will talk to Phase II nodes. For that matter, it can be run as a
Phase >> III or Phase II node if you like.
There currently isn't a formal kit; you can
install it from the Subversion working directory, or run it directly in there if you like.
See doc/*.txt for details.
Feel free to email me with questions, and of course any bug reports.
