Correct. I need to get that patch integrated, but I haven't used TAP in 5 years or
so. That means it takes a bit of time for me to understand it and check it. I use PCAP
normally, and that works well.

FWIW, I don?t believe that the ?tap:? support in pyDECnet works out of the box.
There?s a patch for it floating around that somebody did, but I can?t remember who just
offhand. Hopefully somebody can remind me.
An alternative is to use pcap to connect pyDECnet to a TAP device. That works just
fine, and I use that setup here to connect pyDECnet to a simulated VAX.
