Can anyone provide pointers on how to (re)configure DECNET on Ultrix?

I've got a working SIMH image with it installed and licensed, just wrong node data (courtesy of Cory)

Hi all,
I've got a couple of questions concerning Linux and Ultrix and DECnet.

So, in rough order...

1) Is there an easy way to copy the node list into the /etc/decnet.conf file without a lot faffing about and making the file up manually?

2) How can I get DECnet back into the Raspbian kernel without recompiling the whole thing? I haven't recompiled a Linux kernel for about 16 years, so I pretty much have so idea what I'm doing.

3) (Ok, three is not a couple, except in certain *special* circumstances) Has anyone managed to get DECnet working with Ultrix 4.0 and SimH? Where can I get some licenses from?

4) (Proving that I really can't count) Is HECnet broke at the moment?

Tony.
