For development purposes I also run it on SIMH where it is a bit quicker, but that will also be intermittent. The machine is diskless and has only one Ethernet adapter, so it is running raw packets on the LAN and talking to Johnny’s bridge using UDP, it is acting as my router to HECnet. You should be able to reach nodes at 5.11, 5.99 and 5.100, but it *<b>will</b>* be slow.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Next steps will be to make it more efficient.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rob<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
