If pydecnet implements PMR (Poor Man’s Routing) and allows connection between any 2 DECnet phases you might be able to make something work.  It would look something like:

set host <PyDECnet-node>::<destination-node>

Should later VMS be able to talk to it ? It doesn't seem to work for me (VMS 5.4):

I haven't been able to talk to it from VMS later than 3.5 either. CTERM and RTERM don't seem to find what they look for.



PRRSI$ set host 31787
%SYSTEM-F-CONNECFAIL, connect to network object timed-out or failed

If I try from VMS 7.3

KRAKAR$ set host /app=rterm 31787
%SYSTEM-F-LINKABORT, network partner aborted logical link
KRAKAR$ set host /app=cterm 31787
%SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHOBJ, network object is unknown at remote node

tcpdump attached (31.12=RSX, 31.43=VMS2.0, 31.32=pydecnet); here's what
RSX says - it tries "RMT" and fails. TOPS-10 uses "NRT" and succeeds.
