[HECnet] Multinet protocol description

I think I figured it out.   The DECnet/Linux code is in dnprogs, file
multinet.c
... the multinet stuff hooks into the Ethernet machinery (via a tun/tap
port).   

  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 ...

Bob
