[HECnet] Connections?

[Mark Abene]

This is an often misunderstood generalization, with some people able and
others not. I remember this being true on *BSD. You could not connect to a
simulated IP on the same host. It *used* to also be true on Linux, but is
no longer the case for some time. On my ubuntu server where I run dynamips,
simh, and klh10, all on bridged taps, I can telnet to all instances, even
locally.
