You may want to check http://decnet.ipv7.net In particular http://decnet.ipv7.net/nodetab-en.html for the node list and http://decnet.ipv7.net/soft-en.html for our modified bridge software. There is also http://decnet.ipv7.net/gatetab-en.html for Internet gateways to our network, complete with guest user names :) Note also that some other nodes may have guest access, even if not directly reachable from the Internet, such as the VAX/VMS V4.7 and the TOPS-10 nodes.
