[HECnet] Circuit costs

I set my Multinet circuits to 3 because they are much faster and I would prefer to use the most "efficient" path possible. You will loose the ability to use SET HOST/LAT, and MOM/MOP, and LAD/LAST, but that should me minor... Huh? I didn't follow that last part. Why would you loose the ability to use MOP and LAT when you change circuit costs for DECnet?

Set all Multinet links to cost 5 in both ends Set all bridged Ethernet interfaces to 10 Set all Multinet link nodes Level2 Area Routers Well, I like it. I'll do it if you do it... Actually that's a problem with DECnet - everybody _has_ to do their own; circuit costs are individually defined per node. Bob
