[HECnet] Quiet list and a question about setting up a system

As others noted, this list is bursty. :-) Okay now the Question: How would I go about configuring a PDP-11 (SimH or E11) to talk to the HECNET? And which OS is prefrered? The answer to your first question depends on the answer to the second one, I'd say. :-) But ethernet is a good start, along with a copy of my bridge program running on some machine, unless you also have some VMS system running as a router on the same ethernet segment. I do not have a router or Cisco designed gizmo who's stable enough to support the protocols that we are discussing here, however. That leaves you just with my bridge program then, I guess. Johnny
