[HECnet] anfdump

[Johnny Billquist]

One have to remember that when running over DECnet to BANAI, you are 
connecting through a Linux DECnet node, with an implementation of CTERM 
done by reverse engineering, and then jumping from that over to 
something that talking to Multics.

That said, from Mim it is not too bad. But if someone then sits 
somewhere additional hops away, I can believe that it is pretty bad.

CTERM is not a fun protocol to start with.
