I have very little experience with TOPS-10, and that is only as a user...

Meanwhile, we removed the DEUNA from the simh PDP10 (KS10) simulator since, according to Timothe Litt, besides his unfinished midnight project, there was never DECnet code delivered on the KS10 which could use it.

The arplst output suggests you're working with an IP stack here.

Where does the code for this IP stack come from, and what context was it used under?

If useful code exists, I'll be glad to put the DEUNA device back into the simh PDP10 simulator.

Please elaborate on a recipe which got you as far as the above functionality.
