Happen to know what MAC i'd want for 33.254? I'm bad with figuring hexadecimal stuff and i've not quite figured out the order for DECnet mac addresses yet.

If my math is correct, it'd be aa:00:04:00:fe:84.

On the other hand, the current linux dnet-tools contains a setether command which does the math for you.

I was just going to post that link. :)

Hmmm, Where'd I screw up? the MAC and configured DECnet addresses match.
