Hi Paul,
I have tried your router but it gave some problems on Centos 6.10 to get it
running, though at first it ran well but had some routing problems I told
you about.
It's been a while, and I've made some fixes. You might try with the current
version.
I had to do some things to get it up, but later in the
process of updating
pydecnet, Centos started at a certain point complaining about corrupted
kernel.
If the kernel is corrupted, that's their bug, by definition. You should find a better
Linux in that case.
PyDECnet is a straightforward user mode application. It should run with just a stock
simple Unix and a stock Python 3.
I do not speak Unix very well, so I may well have
installed to many basic
things to get it running and therewith contaminated something.

There I can make use of your product to excite the system somewhat.
By the way, the current Decnet8 is imho NOT phase II; I suspect they had it
running in the laboratory (viz Ddcmp version 4B versus V1C) and in the spd
claiming compatibility with Pdp11 phase-II products, but it probably never
got outside the gates.
Hm. If it's not Phase II, what would it be? Phase I? I have a Phase I protocol
document somewhere, I forgot what OS it's for. That is very much incompatible with
everything else (and no sane way to do the translation, I've thought about it).
