Dropped VMS or dropped VAX? There was a Python for AXP (although I don't know if
it's still supported) but I don't think there was for VAX.
How do people who use your router typically run it? Do they run it on Linux?
TOPS-10 is Phase IV, right? Any of the common DECnet
implementations should talk to that.
TOPS-10 v7.04 (or maybe 7.05) is Phase IV. That's good news - I've wanted to
set up a TOPS-10 simulation, but running a simh780 just to route DECnet for the DMR on
TOPS-10 was not attractive.
I'd rather have TOPS-20 but as you say TOPS-20 on simh with networking is not very
practical.
