  There are several ways to do DECnet over IP, including Multinet, Johnny's
bridge program, certain models of Cisco routers, and Linux DECnet, plus
maybe more that I don't know about.   Unfortunately none of them are really
compatible, so you'll have to say which one you want to use before we can
help.

  If you're using Multinet, then I'll be glad to connect you.

  BTW, I notice your "dyndns" address - most of these aren't really usable
unless you have a static IP.   All these connection methods are based on
actual IPs and not DNS entries, so anytime your dynamic IP changed the guy
at the other end of your tunnel would have to reconfigure your connection.
That gets old pretty fast.
