[HECnet] Re: Networking a KS10, was Re: Re: An example of non-optimal setup

Dave, Get a sync DDCMP interface on some other box that runs a DECnet L1 router and can talk to the rest of the world. -P Ps: there is some additional work on the cisco suggestion, cisco assumes DECnet Ethernet frames and there are differences on how for example routing vectors are sent on a PtP link vs an Ethernet. Once upon a time when we put the IP code in to the 7.02/t.03 merged code for KI10's we used the serial interface on one of the non master CPU's to talk SLIP while debugging... -:) ----- Original Message ----- > On 9/10/22 21:36, Robert Armstrong wrote: >>> But what about DECnet over async? >> >> Not sure that TOPS-10 supports async DECnet.
