By they way, Angela, you don't need to be running dnroute if your node

Chrissie,
Am I reading this to mean that it is possible to use a Linux box as a DECnet
Area Router? If so how hard is it to setup on Ubuntu? I haven't played
with Linux DECnet in close to a decade.
It should be fairly easy, though I haven't done it for ages!
Cool! I'll keep this in mind should I have further problems with keeping a VAX
online. I've never really used the VAXstation 4000/60 that I replaced my VLC with
last night. So far it's still up though. Unfortunately it appears the onboard NIC is
bad on my /90.
