Trying to enter opr so I can enter NCP and see if I can get more information but nothing happens when I type opr<ret> as operator.
The system is not reachable via decnet.
Did I forget a setting somewhere?
Hmmmm...

That "Maximum Address" makes me wonder... try to assign to it an address under 255.
If I try to change the characteristic I get an error:
NCP>set executor maximum address 1023

I'll try to locate a DECNET-20 manual to check it all...
I have it attached to a bridge and it is reachable via TCP/IP, so networking works.
TCPIP access does not mean you will have DECNET access. There is that MAC Address change issue. That is what prevented my setup to work in the first place, so I had to go the VM way...
