[HECnet] Router for area 1

[H Vlems]

Oleg,
an endnode is fairly ignorant about the area it lives in.
The output of $ SHOW NET /OLD (or just plain $ SHOW NET on older systems)
is a lot more interesting on a level 1 router than on an endnode.
So since the actual overhead is minimal (given available bandwidth today)
why not mc ncp def exec type routing IV in stead?

  This happens because when there are multiple routing nodes for the same
area, DECnet uses the one with the highest address.   The obvious solution
would be for Johnny to renumber MIM as, say, 1.1023.


Hmm.
CTAKAH is set to lower router priority than MIM. I thought this is enough to
tell that MIM is preffered router...

There's no need for CTAKAH to be and area router, so I'll downgrade it to
endnode...
