Does DECnet/Linux have any kind of DECnet-over-IP tunneling ability? You should be able to encapsulate DECnet in a GRE tunnel, yes. I don't know anyone who has tried it though! At one time I had a SimH VAX at on my Linux home server, and a real Alpha at my workshop. Each site had an ADSL line and an OpenBSD router, and DECnet via an Ethernet-over-IP tunnel worked fine. I had both systems in a LAVC for a while, but even a show sys/clu was slow, and occasionally the cluster would break for no apparent reason. Andrew
