[HECnet] What use are *you* making of HECnet?

[Jason Stevens]

Right now testing, although I'm making a 'stub' version to run under
windows so I can setup a bridge on a windows hosting box I have...

I noticed from the source there is no way to handle packets of 1500
bytes, as it would invariably require fragmentation... is
LAT/MOP/DecNET all smaller then 1500 bytes?

I've only used decnet in the 'wild' once, but we moved from the VAX to
PC's... but then our VAX was weird as it ran Novell Netware..... I
wish I had saved the tapes, as netware for the vax has to be super
ultra rare...

Anyways I was thinking of adding compression support (zlib style)... I
should test it some more as I figure if the packet compresses somewhat
it'll be under the 1500 snaplen for ethernet....

Ok enough rambling for now.
