Paul,
the latest supported VMS versions for Python are 2.7.8 for Alpha and 2.7.9
for Itanium.
Which kind of kills the experiment, right? :(

It would be nice to move the connection off a Linux box to a VMS system.
There is a libpcap version for VMS, it's used by simh.
The problem is Python. AFAIK that i   s just v2.7 for VMS. I know my systems
run that kit, but I don't use it much so a newer version may be available.

The Python 3.3    what   s new    document says that VMS is no longer supported
   due to lack of a maintainer   .   So it may be possible to build Python 3.2 on
VMS.   The current DECnet/Python code wants 3.3, but earlier on I used 3.2
and there isn   t much that needs 3.3.   (In other words, it would not be all
that hard to change it back to allow 3.2.)
