[HECnet] Minimal Requirements

But so far, there has never been a single instance of someone actually trying to connect some unknown node with DECnet on any link of mine. But it is most likely just because pretty much any remote script-kid just have no clue that DECnet even exists, what to do with it, or anything else. Also, the worst I think anyone could do would just be disrupting DECnet. But maybe someone else can think of anything else potentially interesting someone could do by hijacking a circuit. My biggest issue with those link passwords in RSX is that I think I can only have one password, and it will be applied to all links. And I also think that maybe I had to turn it on on all links if I turn it on on any. But if people are willing to experiment some, we could test enabling it. For the bridge, though, it requires that both ends are known. No wildcard connections allowed.
