=46rom NCP?   You can't do a "tell node connect..." Type thing can you?   The p=
roblem is MOP isn't routed so a connection to the router would have to happe=
n from something local.

"Tell" speaks NML, cisco only implements Decnet routing and forwaring,
l2 and l3.....

True.

Well, if one can define access lists using DECnet addresses as filter
terms, I'd be ok with that, for nonprivileged access.

I've just verified that a MOP console request works from Linux using
locally-stored authentication on the IOS side to establish a
nonprivileged IOS CLI session on a 7206VXR running IOS 12.3(22), like so:

$ moprc -v <MAC address>

...and like this from NCP under VMS:
=20
NCP> connect node gw physical address <MAC address> via <circuit-name>
=20
Note that the MAC address must have its octets delimited by colons
under Linux, and hyphens under VMS.
