[HECnet] Hecnet and DDCMP

[Mark Abene]

Jarratt, did you make this publicly available on the SIMH list?   It
would be great to have a DMC11 device emulated, since I insist on
running RSTS/E v8 (for historical reasons... it was the last real RSTS
before "the pollution").   RSTS/E v8 doesn't have ethernet support, so
the only way I could have DECnet is via a (previously unemulated)
DMC11 interface.   Does yours work well?

Working with a friend, I  have written a SIMH emulation of the DMC11 device,
so you can do this with SIMH. It tunnels the bytes sent to/from the device
over a socket. We have used the SIMH emulation to connect my friend to
HECnet over a (simulated) DMC11.

The bit I am not entirely sure about is to what extent this is using DDCMP
as I don't have a full understanding of DDCMP.

Hey guys,

Has anyone worked out a mechanism to connect a node to hecnet using DDCMP?
  Perhaps some tunneling technology over IP, or virtualized serial?
