Sorry, I just don't see the need for hot

simplify the network management as much as possible.
By the way, I do not consider manually turning circuits off and on as
response to problems to "simplify management". :-)
DECnet is dealing with all of this just fine. It's you who are having
problems, not DECnet (or HECnet).
So, what problem are we trying to solve?
