Hm. The command "MNC SET CIR IP-0-5 MODE

All links are just multinet links, which is DDCMP, with a
small header to just get whole packets when using TCP.

That explains the "MLTNET" in Marks error log. So, if I set up
the phDECnet circuit as a Multinet one is should work?
Sortof yes, but no.
The errors are because RSX is receiving packets without that
multinet header.
I misunderstood. But figured because changing to Multinet on
pyDECnet side did not make any difference. Mark just gets a
different error

Oh, well. Time to fire up a local SimH RSX node and see if I can
figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!
What I
meant with the above was this:
.mnc set cir ip-0-3 mode ddcmp
MODE have been deprecated.
Please update any configuration scripts.
.
You should have gotten those errors in RSX when doing the command.
But yes, also, the fact that you set your PyDECnet side to talk
DDCMP caused the errors when receiving packets.
Mark has it in his startup script I assume. It's probably been a
while since that system was booted so he my have forgotten or didn't
notice.

Why are you wanting to use it?
Johnny
Because that's what I was told needed to be done to connect to
other HECnet nodes? Mark has several set up that way and so
does Supratim.
Whoever said that is confused and wrong. Sorry. You need to set up
Multinet links.
