[HECnet] Re: TOPS-20 on HECnet?

[Brian Hechinger]

Does that work with GRE on Linux? I never got GRE with not IP to work on FreeBSD due to strangeness with bpf.

Paul's python router talks GRE natively. Not sure how well tested that is though as I never got it setup before the colo box getting shut off.

I wrote a user mode one that runs on Linux, although my primary development platform is Windows and I have not checked Linux compatibility lately. You can find it on http://route20.codeplex.com/

A GRE tunnel won't do much good if he can't route DECnet packets over it.

Is there a reasonable Linux DECnet router? If not, you may want to try out Paul's python one.
