Are you sure? I don't think pyDECnet can tunnel either MOP nor LAT

That would be fun - I'd love to do a $ LCP SHOW SERVICES and see
hundreds
of hosts/services.
OTOH, tunneling MOP could be an issue - you'd have no control over
what

non-
standard load image name or are relying on your local MOP server being
faster to respond than any other MOP server.
Speaking of DECservers, if anyone is interested, here is the most com-
prehensive set of DECserver software images / boot PROMs / documentation
