Two comments:

1) 1.13 unreachable seems like you have some kind of a connectivity problem.

2) Based on the effect of various commands: are you running phase V?
If so, the NCP command there is just a wrapper, and only supports a subset of NCP, and you are pretty screwed.

Hi folks

Well I'm not sure what order of events prevented decnet working yesterday but I booted TSR2 this morning and hecnet connectivity was working.

Yesterday TSR2 was booted before the decnet bridge was up and running, I wonder if that caused any issues?

Regards, Mark.
