By the way, as a warning... I seem to remember that DECnet support now have been dropped from Linux. So it might not be in there anymore, if you look at recent versions. I've also had less than stellar results from trying to talk from Linux to RSX. So it might not work absolutely right under all conditions. Developers mostly (it not only) had VMS machines to test against... Johnny On 2012-06-07 00:07, Rob Jarratt wrote: I reckon it could be done with a single interface. Will take a look at the specs, a raspberry pi DECnet router would be great!

It would be a fun exercise to turn the bridge into an actual DECnet router. One day, when I have a lot of time I might even think about trying that. Feel free. The specifications are out there, so it's definitely not an impossible task. But I guess it will take some work. It would be very nice if the bridge did turn into a WAN router... Johnny DECnet Phase IV is pretty straightforward. The specs are all out there. And much of it is implemented in Linux, so you can find C sources ready to go... Even if sample code only does L1 routing, you're nearly there because area routing is essentially the same thing done a second time on a second set of tables. There may be mileage in building dedicated DECnet bridges/routers using RaspberryPi boards in a suitable case running a very cut-down Linux with an advanced version of the bridge? I am no programming wizard but I am good at compiling and testing stuff. Would it require 2 Ethernet interfaces to work or would (like the bridge) just one work okay? -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource& Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts.
