My network is very scary, but here's the path from the outside world to my DEC machines:

Mine is a bit less scary, but it's still crazy. ;)


Cable modem -> Astaro firewall -> Apple Airport -> Apple Airport Express -> Cisco 7206VXR -> 10Mbps ethernet switch with 10base2 connector -> DECrepeater90C -> many VAXen ;)

DSL (yes, DSL) modem -> HT P4 running pfSense (considering moving this to a VM where all my other stuff runs, would give me more runtime on the UPS   but would create a single point of failure) -> gigE switch for core stuff and personal systems -> 50ft ethernet cable running across a few rooms to a 100mbit switch where my DEC systems will live.

My HECnet routing involves a layer 2 OpenVPN and a simh instance on my VPS...


The two Airport devices give me a wireless bridge in to my garage, where the VAXen live.
