Michael,
I “upgraded” to phase IV DECnet on all my HECnet machines - to be
consistent across each of the VAX/Alpha/x86 OpenVMS and PDP-11
operating systems (and I can use my 40-plus years of burnt-in NCP
command memory to manipulate the configurations).
I see, so no DECnet+ peering. Maybe I'll have to explore other options,
I'll look into pydecnet.
Wiz (aka David Moylan) wiz(a)djm.net.au is the person
you should
contact regarding joining HECnet area 35 in Australia. He can allocate
node numbers and Johnny Billquist co-ordinates the node name
registrations.
I'll contact him and go from there.
I suggest you use pydecnet as your DECnet protocol
router as it can
manage the IP tunnels into HECnet. I run it and a few SIMH instances
on a Raspberry Pi 3B, whilst my x86_64 OpenVMS runs under virtualbox
on my Mac mini.
Does pydecnet work with Phase V I suppose I should ask.
