Is the issue about changing IP addresses, or is it about latency causing circuits to go up
and down?

You just need to connect to someone with a fixed IP address and let them know
that you?ll more down than up.

I don't have persistent Internet connectivity or a fixed IP address at my just-
barely-rural home. When my home network is connected to the Internet, it's
tethered over my cell phone. And even then, my cell service is spotty. I could
possibly resume using a separate hotspot at home rather than my regular cell
phone, but even when I was doing that, my connectivity wasn't great. Cell
service in my neighborhood isn't very good via either AT&T or Verizon, and
wired connectivity is not available.
Would any of the DECnet routing mechanisms supported by PyDECnet
possibly be
suitable for intermittent connection of my home network, with a
small number of DECnet nodes, to HECnet? Or am I just going to have to
remain a HECnet spectator until I manage to obtain better Internet
connectivity?
