There are several ways to do DECnet over IP, including Multinet, Johnny's bridge program, certain models of Cisco routers, and Linux DECnet, plus maybe more that I don't know about. Unfortunately none of them are really compatible, so you'll have to say which one you want to use before we can help. If you're using Multinet, then I'll be glad to connect you. BTW, I notice your "dyndns" address - most of these aren't really usable unless you have a static IP. All these connection methods are based on actual IPs and not DNS entries, so anytime your dynamic IP changed the guy at the other end of your tunnel would have to reconfigure your connection. That gets old pretty fast. Bob I'd be interested in connecting my Alphastation with Multinet, if possible. I've got cable internet and all my machines are behind a router... pointers and directions would be appreciated! John -- Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
