Unfortunately, DECnet for Linux is no longer maintained, as of maybe a
year ago. It still mostly works, but you'd be better off setting up an
earlier release of Linux to run it on. I believe the DECnet stack
itself has stopped working due to kernel interface changes in the past
year or so. LAT, however, still works great.
For some definition of great... Please do not try to use the llogin
program against RSX. The Linux/Unix LAT code is violating the LAT
protocol in some way, and that in turn triggers a memory leak in the RSX
LAT code, so you will not be happy after a while. Sessions get dropped
at random points, and at some point in time, you'll run out of memory in
the LAT process in RSX.
I have not tried to examine exactly what the code is doing wrong, and I
have also not tried finding the bug in the RSX LAT code.
