This just begs the question - can I run multinet.c as a stand alone
program?   Suppose I had a Linux machine, ran simh, connected the virtual
QNA/UNA to a tun/tap device, connected multinet.c to the same device, could
I then talk to a remote VMS node?   

Quite a hack, but it might be useful ...

It looks that way.   Check out the code, it's part of the dnprogs package.   Just one file.
