I haven't tried to run pyDECnet on Windows (I try to avoid that OS). But since
Windows is portable it ought to work. The one issue is how to do Ethernet, if you want
real Ethernet. There are several flavors. The one I usually use is pcap, which I think
exists in Windows as well. Perhaps not quite compatible, but that should be fixable.
Perhaps I should give this a try.
If you want to use IP based stuff, like GRE or Multinet or DDCMP, I would expect it should
just work.

if you are in a situation where the machine
running your multinet connection
may be up/down and this affects your connectivity then my recommendation
would be to setup a machine running pyDECnet.
John?s biggest problem is that he doesn?t have a DVNETRTG license; he only has an end
node. That means the machine running Multinet can?t also talk over the Ethernet to his
other machines at the same time. pyDECnet would also solve the problem, but he?s running
Windows and doesn?t have any Linux machines.
