Excellent. Took bloody ages to come up! Guess I'll just have to be more patient :-)
What protocol does that tunnel use? Multinet over IP? If so, that's the expected
behavior given the design errors of that protocol. For all others, the connection should
come up as soon as packets start to flow back and forth reliably.
I've found Wireshark a useful tool to look at problems, though unfortunately Wireshark
parses many DECnet frames incorrectly. (It makes a particularly embarassing mess out of
routing packets.)
