[HECnet] HECnet bridge on Solaris 2.9

[Mark Wickens]

Well, I managed to get the bridge compiled up on Solaris with some minor makefile and include and library tweaks having compiled up the latest libpcap. I am using the opencsw archive for general unix software.

If I run the bridge with debug on I get the following output:

./bridge 4711
Config filename: bridge.conf

Which looks encouraging, but when I try and use DECNET on SLAVE I get the following:

[MSW]SLAVE$ dir mim::
%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening MIM::*.*;* as input
-RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed
-SYSTEM-F-PATHLOST, path to network partner node lost

Any ideas what might be going wrong? I've updated my NAT to point to the Ultra 5 for port 4711.
