[HECnet] Curious about DECnet/Python

I?ve got it running on a raspberry pi 4 as HECnet node 29.1 with point to point multinet links to the outside world, TAP interface to the mixed real/in memory Ethernet and a bridge interface to a SIMH 3.9+blinken instance behind a PiDP11.

It?s a great piece of work Paul has done and I?m extremely grateful he?s made it available.
