This got me thinking, could just customize a Raspian distro to run the bridge.
Download the image, put it on a SD card and boot. Change network settings and
enter uplink details in bridge.conf. bridge runs automatically in a screen
launched by init (respawned if killed, of course).
Instant HECnet-in-a-box :)
That'd be neat. STAR69 runs on a Pi with Raspbian and bridge running out to HECnet so
it's totally doable. If you could trim the distro down a bit (well, a lot actually)
and make bridge run as a service it'd be neat. If you could get SimH to run as a
service with a disconnectable terminal and optional between PDP-11 and VAX that'd be
even neater.
Maybe I went a little OTT on that one a SD card for bridge on a cut-down Pi linux would
be a cool start though :)
