The way to run DECnet over a flaky long distance network is to use point

Probably a good idea, but we don't have that option on HECnet.
Well, HECnet is not a static piece of equipment. Anything is possible...
My bridge emulates a simple ethernet segment. Good enough many times, but if we have a
link like yours, that sometimes seems to drop packets, then maybe some other alternative
should be considered.
Now, the question then becomes, what can we do in this case.
As far as I understand, links using Multinet are more broken, and still use UDP. The same
would appear to possibly be the case for Cisco as well?
Do anyone run any links using TCP?
