And slow. VERY slow :)


I wasn't thinking of using this for production use. Compiling the kernel on Hercules was a giggle, took like 2 days.

Could always cross-compile!



If only they could get Ethernet support working (right now the tun/tap thing is a weird point-to-point link AFAIK).

It is. It works fine for TCP/IP (at level 3) but no level 2 so far.


Really? How? I thought the level 3 works as a point to point link as I said, the level 2 stuff would let things like DECNET run.

Could possibly be done with tunnels, or hacking your own encapsulation via RJE.  

I'd love DECNET on some virtual IBM gear.


Got a sample say Debian/390 setup you'd like to share?
