[HECnet] Connections?

Sumpratim, an area router is just a more capable DECnet router. It has to be either a PDP-11 or a VAX. Alpha's does/did not support area routing. Obviously other gear like Ciscos can also act as area routers. There are various rules on what is connected to what when it comes to the various routing domains in DECnet. Once you have an area router then yes, any number (well, up to 63) is supported. There are no other limitations. Essentially, area routing isn't anh more complicated that routing within the area. As an admin, you don't really have to do much of anything. But it's good if you have some bandwidth, a fixed address, and are generally online. ? Johnny
