[HECnet] Alpha emulation?

I don't know DECnet for Linux, but is there a way that you could 
manually disable the eth1 circuit on sketti? Kind of a "define circuit 
eth1 state off"?

  DECnet/Linux is not supposed to be touching eth1.   My /etc/default/decnet
says -

	# DNET_INTERFACES specifies the names of ethernet interfaces whose
	# MAC address is to be set to the DECnet node address
	DNET_INTERFACES="eth0"

and also the /etc/decnet.conf says

	#Node                     Node                       Name                       Node       Line       Line
	#Type                     Address                 Tag                         Name       Tag
Device
	#-----                   -------                 -----                     -----     -----
------
	executor               2.16                       name                       sketti   line       eth0

So AFAIK the host DECnet should only be listening on eth0.   Chrissy would
probably know for sure.
