What's up with your DECnet installation, again?
It's connected to the network, yet it can't reach any other nodes. Adjacency
notices between nodes are seen, but they cannot communicate.

And VAX to RSTS/E just results in a timeout. Attempting to dir from an Alpha results in
the request being seen on RSTS/E, but it fails.
RSTS/E to Alpha results in
$ set host 33.302
Connection Established to VAX/VMS Node 33.302
?Unsupported Virtual Terminal Protocol.
Control returned to node MINDY
So, I don't know what I misconfigured.
Ok. I'll bring up a RSTS/E system and run some tests here. This will
involve real hardware; none of my emulated systems are networked right
now. I may get to this later tonight.
You have a lot of real DEC hardware, don't you? ;)
As that could take some time, have any experience with DECnet and TOPS-20 in klh10? I read
the documentation for it but it wasn't particularly helpful with regards to the
networking "fronted" klh10 emulates, and I can't exactly load the executor
config stuff to bring the node and circuit online.
Two things I can tell you is that I can easily reach a RSTS/E system
from a Linux system via LAT, and also file operations work between that
pair. File operations also work between the RSTS/E system and an Alpha
running VMS. (all real hardware)
I've probably misconfigured something obvious.
