if you want it permanent, you do it in VMR on the system image.
No, it's not currently defined at all.
Weird. I would have to be on the machine to tell what that might be.
You could check that the nodename server is running at least:
TAL NT.NNS
(should look something like this:
.tal nt.nns
NT.NNS 032460 GEN 032144 02627700-02762500 Pri - 200. Dpri - 200.
Status: WFR PRV ROV DFB XHR
TI - CO0: IOC - 0. BIO - 0. Eflg - 000003 040000 PS - 170000
PC - 013122 Regs 0-6 002054 004346 005340 000000 005340 000074 001214
)
If status contains -EXE then it's not running.
Yes. The FSL version uses supervisor mode libraries. Either should work
just fine.

Where is that kit? More...
I unpacked that decnet46 tape image with BRU, and did netgen with that. I get an
endnode, I missed the fact it didn't ask me if I wanted something else. So how would
I get a router instead?
Sounds like you are faced with an endnode kit. Then you don't have a choice.
Download the full DECnet kit from MIM, and make a new installation with that. Now that
you've come this far, that is fairly easy to do, since the tape image exists at MIM::
I supplied the addresses and vectors to match what
SIMH has, but at network startup I get a complaint about the DMC-0 vector:
Something must be using vector 320.
Try "CON DIS FULL ATT" and spot what might be using it. NCP SET SYS
NTL -- DMC Template -- Vector
320 Not Available
.INT1 $$DMC
NTL -- DMC Template -- Vector 324 Not Available
.INT2 $$DMC
NTINIT -- Failed To Load Line DMC-0
ASN =XX:
NCP SET EXE STA ON
As far as I can tell nothing else uses that vector. It's
happy with DMC-1 (vector 330). Also, I can't get CFE to set my nearby node
names:
CFE>def nod 41.1 name python
CFE -- Name Node Server QIO failed, Function=IO.WND, I/O Status=205
Does it matter that I specified that name during netgen? But I also gave it MIM and
that's defined just fine.
I wonder if it might be that the node name server isn't running. But I don't
understand why MIM would be possible to define in that case.
Do you perhaps already have a PYTHON defined with some other number? Also, if you
have DECnet up and running, check for [5,54]NNCFSL.TSK, which is a task you can use to
copy all the node names from another node (like MIM).
It's called NNCRES in my system, I guess that's a different library flavor.
