I want in on your crazy GRE and DECnet routing setups! ;)

  I think of them as quite sane.   If one needs to route, one should, oh
you know, use a router. ;)

I could install vyatta which is linux-based meaning I could /maybe/
build linux-decnet and have it function as an area router.
Management could also be done via SNMP, but not to the ease of Cisco.
Thoughts?

  Get a Cisco.   It's not like they're tough to find, or very expensive.
And you'll use it essentially forever. (because it will last that long!)

I'd use my current router as-is, but FreeBSD lacks DECnet bits. :(

  See above. ;)
