By they way, Angela, you don't need to be running dnroute if your node

suspect :)
    

Chrissie,
Am I reading this to mean that it is possible to use a Linux box as a DECnet
Area Router?   If so how hard is it to setup on Ubuntu?   I haven't played
with Linux DECnet in close to a decade.


It should be fairly easy, though I haven't done it for ages!

Cool!   I'll keep this in mind should I have further problems with keeping a VAX online.   I've never really used the VAXstation 4000/60 that I replaced my VLC with last night.   So far it's still up though. Unfortunately it appears the onboard NIC is bad on my /90.

Zane
