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.
For me, it was no more complex than installing the OS, installing the
DECnet packages, and putting my addresses in /etc/decnet.conf.
Everything just worked, and continues to work...there hasn't been any
need to fiddle with anything.
Now it occurs to me that I cannot easily recreate this installation,
because I didn't keep a copy of the .deb files for the DECnet packages,
I just apt-get installed them, years ago. I should probably go try to
find those packages.
