Yes it would, but wouldn't that be edging away from "implementing a DEC protocol" to "emulating a DEC operating system component"?

I'm curious as to if I could replicate any of that setup with open source stuff... I have a Cisco 7206VXR router that has Cisco's Decnet implementation on it. It is now acting as my area router, and connects to Dave's Cisco via an IP tunnel. From what I understand, Cisco's Decnet implementation is proprietary - not sure if it works well with non-Cisco stuff. Ian -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
