You know, all this DECnet routing talk has got me thinking.   It's been a
LONG time since I've done any DECnet networking.   Is there a good place to
read up on it or should I just read the VMS manuals online since I'll be
doing this from VMS mainly at first.

I spent quite some time trying to get an area router working.   I couldn't
find any documentation other than the standard DEC manuals (available
online).   The DEC manuals talk about the theory, including non-routing,
level 1 routing and level 2 routing (area routing), but I couldn't find any
document that explained how to enable level 2 routing.   Thankfully, this
list was able to help me out.

The online docs aren't the easiest to look through. But they are there
it's in this book

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/documentation/pdf/DECNET_OVMS_NET_MAN.PDF

Page 3-49.

I only found it by searching the whole document for routing and
looking at every result.
