Paul - a bit more information:
- Pydecnet is reporting this: Remote node name XX does not match ours: 31.43
- Pydecnet ini has this:

Hi Paul,
I made some progress and need help with the next step - connecting to
pydecnet.
Current status is DECnet 1.3 is up on VAX/VMS 2.0, I can SET HOST to
self, and have DMC11 XMA0 device up and a link to DECnet/Python
configured.
There is no way to avoid a receive password that I can figure out, so
I am using HELLOVAX as both receive and transmit pw:

pydecnet .ini has:

node 31.43 XX --inbound-verification HELLOVAX --outbound-verification
HELLOVAX
and I keep getting OPCOM messages on the VAX saying:
* Opcom, 03:17:09.56, NETACP Accnt=
Opcom, DECnet line XMA0: INIT message protocol error from address:
32, name:

I must be very close to getting 31.43 (XX) in if Phase II is supported
like you indicated ...
Anyway, advice for me please?
Best regards
Supratim

43 since that was the node number Supriatim was trying to set.
According to Wikipedia, phase II only supported 32 nodes. But as I've
never used it, I don't really know what to think.

Oh! Wow. Other end of spectrum. I don't remember ever touching
that. Earliest VMS I ever played with was 3.7, if I remember right.
Also never used Phase II. Earliest was Phase III. Did Phase II even
support more than 43 nodes? I guess I should check some. :-)
43? The spec says Phase II node numbers are in the range 2 to 240,
but they aren't actuallly used for anything. So, in a sense, Phase
II can handle any size network. But it doesn't do routing except
the limited "intercept" stuff. Still, with PyDECnet intercept, a
TOPS-20 V4 node can talk to any HECnet node.
