I’m not quite ready, but I’m headed in the direction of being able to do this, and I’m on a 50Mbit commercial line.  Today PDXVAX is a VAXstation 4000/60.  I’ve been planning to migrate it to SIMH running on a RPi3+.  Once it is migrated, I can keep it online during the summer (which I can’t today).  I just need to figure out how I want to image the drive.  I run your bridge on my Firewall, and I have MultiNet running on PDXVAX, but I don’t think the Multinet link is active anymore.

My primary issue is finding time to work on this.  I’m still trying to get my primary VMS system migrated to a SIMH cluster (since the primary is a Compaq XP1000/667, not everything can move).
