So, you are a member of the mailing list. Excellent. You mentioned in a mail to me that DECnet over IP should be an option as well. If you use the bridge, then connecting to me could be done. DECnet over IP some others here can help with. Once we have figured out where you connect to, the next question is if you want an area, or if we fit you in on an existing area. And once that is done, we can figure out DECnet addresses. Node names is a separate question. If you want a specific name, I can check if it is used today or not. Johnny
