If so then I' m interested in trying it out. Hans Probably not, at least not without some changes. It typically runs as a daemon, and on VMS that s done differently. Also, it uses libpcap via the Python ctypes module. Is there a VMS port of libpcap? Even if yes, the details of what symbols you ask for in the ctypes wrapper for that library might be different. Finally, it uses Python 3, so you d have to have that; Python 2 won t do. It would be seriously neat if this can be made to work, though. One additional "complication" is that you would need to be able to feed packets from the python code into the network receiver part to inject packets from python into the local DECnet stack, and also capture any outgoing packets and get them delivered from DECnet into the python code. Not necessarily something that can be done even if you have pcap.
