I have listeners waiting on 0.0.0.0. Yes, MULTINET does not seem to care 
what address connections come in from. For example:

$ multinet set /decnet /remote=0.0.0.0 /port=60005 /device=tcpa6: 
/tcp=listen /buffers=24

Watching this thread with interest, I would like to know too if dynamic 
IP clients work transparently with MULTINET/VMS.
