[HECnet] HECnet bridge on tru64

[Mark Wickens]

good point samsung I'd forgotten that I had the bridge running on my raspberry pi so at least if nothing else I could sack in the laptop and take the pi instead however I'm going to see if I can't get it running on the sun. If that's the case we maybe want to make a list of the operating systems and versions for which the bridge has been successfully compiled.

This got me thinking, could just customize a Raspian distro to run the bridge.

Download the image, put it on a SD card and boot. Change network settings and
enter uplink details in bridge.conf. bridge runs automatically in a screen 
launched by init (respawned if killed, of course).

Instant HECnet-in-a-box :)
