<p>Are you getting consistent responses from 20's?</p>
<p>Mine keep whining about 28NH every so often (and I keep
forgetting to tell you...) For example,<br>

<p>I don't have dates, I'm afraid. The Galaxy log is only time
stamped; no date turn-over. I fixed this at Columbia; it's on my
PANDA list...<br>
</p>
<p>Also <font size="4"><tt>QCOCAL::</tt></font> (31.10) today, but
I'm not sure what that is.<br>

You can look at the map (<a

class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">http://akdesign.dyndns.org:8080/map</a>).
Physicallly closest may not be the best answer -- closest to the
rest of the net is also interesting -- but both of those should be
visible on the map. You can turn off Level 1 nodes and links to
see the area routing backbone only, that's probably the best
resource to answer your question.

Who'd going to be my closest router?<br class="">

For the others, Paul pretty much summed it up.
In addition, it should probably be mentioned
that Multinet over TCP or UDP is possible inside
VMS and RSX (as well as with PyDECnet). DDCMP
over TCP or UDP is possible with PyDECnet
(actually, I could probably add that in RSX as
well), while GRE is mainly for Cisco, but I
think PyDECnet also can do that one?<br class="">

So choices are somewhat dependent on what
system/software you are using.<br class="">

Yes, PyDECnet supports: real Ethernet, Ethernet
bridging over UDP, GRE, Multinet over TCP (and UDP
but don't), DDCMP over TCP, UDP, simulated async
connections including Telnet, real async
connections, and sync connections via my DDCMP
framer device. In other words, most of the
datalinks DECnet has ever supported. Missing are
802.5 token ring, HDLC, X.25, and PCL, I think
that's about it. Some day I'll think about 802.5
support not so much for that but because it would
enable DECnet over WiFi.<br class="">

I was intending on running PyDECnet. I'm in southern
Portugal. Not sure who's closest to me.<br class="">
