[HECnet] Connect question

[H Vlems]

Hello, I've been reading HECnet mail for some time now and I want to connect
my systems too. I have a few questions though.
- Is it possible to run the bridge software on a VMS system?
- If not, would a Tru64 system do?
- What tools do I need to build the bridge software (from what I've learned
I guess a C compiler would do).
- I'm fairly used to my nodenumbers and nodenames. Given the amount of
systems (>30) could I have an area for my systems to maintain the node
addresses?
- Does the bridge software transmit LAT as well?
Regards,
Hans Vlems
