[Simh] FW: [Linux-decnet-user] Hobbyist DECnet network

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
This is the first message; it conveys the interest of the author
described below. Since I know that the DEC hardware simulations for
SIMH can run the software he describes  I thought the rest of us
should see this.

Now remember I'm only the messenger. Any of you who feel you need to
know more please contact the individuals below.

  I'm new to the Linux DECnet project, so please forgive me if this is
old
news, but I'm wondering if you guys know about the Hobbyist DECnet
project?
We don't write software (at least not for this), but we've been
hooking up
DECnet connections between DEC collectors around the world.  There are
about
75-80 nodes connected now, of which maybe 15-20 run 24x7.

  The DECnet connections are made by tunneling over IP and the
Internet, and
pretty much anybody with a DECnet capable box and an Internet
connection can
join.  There are two different approaches to connecting - either with
an
Ethernet bridge program, or with Multinet on VMS.

   You can see a list of the current nodes here

	http://www.jfcl.com/Computers/dcn.pdf

We also have our own mailing list, which you can join here

	http://www.update.uu.se/~bqt/hecnet.html

  It probably goes without saying that this would be a great way to
test
Linux DECnet against a variety of VMS, RSX, RSTS and even TOPS-10/20
hosts.
