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

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
This is the second message; it conveys the enthusiasm of its Owner to
the author described below. Since Patrick explains that he caused some
sort of crash to the hosting hardware for SIMH, 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.

That would be really useful actually. I've personally done very little

(well, almost no) testing on anything other than VMS. I did try some 
testing to RSX running on simh but it just kept crashing (the "box"
that 
is!)
