[HECnet] Area configuration

[hvlems at zonnet.nl]

You always need one area router to connect to nodes outside your area. 
With one exception: on a lan with no decnet routers present, nodes can connect irrespective what area tjey're in. 
So you need the bridge program AND an area router for yet another decnet node to see all the others. 
If your vax is the area router (try mc ncp sho exeec char) does the alpha connect to the vax?

Hi, SteveD is the best person to answer this question, but I'm not sure 
whether he's about at the moment.

I'm in my own area, area 4, and I normally run a VAX, BUBBLE which I 
believe does area routing.

I'm setting up an Alpha system, but am currently unable to see any other 
areas via hecnet. For the most part, either the Alpha or VAX will be 
running, but not both.

Do I need to setup the Alpha as an area router also?

Thanks for the help, Mark.
