I already do SHOW ADJ NODES on the router nodes, so that should have most non-CISCO stuff covered no?

But they show up as gazillion ptp links unless you somehow start to figure out that this is actually a bus. And then (not that I'm aware of any such links on HECnet right now) the multidrop links, which connects several machines, but which actually are lots of ptp connections...


Again NCP can't tell me that - a simple bit of metainfo in FAL could :)

Yes. Which is my point. NCP falls severely short if you want to use it for mapping. Something else is needed, so let's do that something else instead, and do that properly.
