Ok on that?

I have no reason to suspect it shouldn't work. But only testing will tell. And the
same here - you might need to tweak a thing or two in the source.

Netbsd's pkgsrc does support osf/1, although, many packages, such as
gcc, refuses to build. I was able to build the following from
pkgsrc-2013Q1, alas, nothing terribly useful.

 OK, so given that I have so little time at the moment I'm going to ask a
 question that I could answer if I had a chance to play.

 Does the hecnet bridge compile and run on tru64? I've got 5.1c installed on
...
  a machine I'm taking to DEC Legacy and I'd
rather not take another linux
 machine if possible.

 I still need to work this out on one of my Tru64 machines so this is all
 loose theory so bear with me but   

 Tru64, being a UNIX has the environment required, so that's a start.

 You can bootstrap and use NetBSD pakgsrc on Tru64 I THINK. It lists OSF/1 as
...
  a supported environment, which I think is their way of
saying they support
...
  it? I dunno if anyone ever tried it out?

 Given bootstrapped pkgsrc you then have all the OSS compiler tools required

  to compile the bridge binary

 ????

 Profit?

 I really ought to get it working properly on my PWS500au and try it for
 certainty.
