[HECnet] getting connected

[Mark G Thomas]

Hi,

So now I'm connected via GRE tunnels, and assigned a decnet cost
to the local ethernet interface on my router, but I'm not quite 
working yet.

1) I ran SYS$MANAGER:NET$CONFIGURE.COM, but something isn't quite right.

2) Once I get DECnet configured and working, what can I connect to?

I know this is real beginner stuff, but in spite of tons of
documentation about OpenVMS and DECnet, I'm not sure where to
go with this.

Hi,

I'm thinking I'd like to get connected to hecnet, and maybe put one
of my VAX systems online.

I've got a static Verizon FIOS IP, and a Cisco router with which I could set
up a GRE tunnel.

Who can help me?

Mark
