[HECnet] DECnet broken with 4.4.0-151 kernel

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Yes you do. With company in fact........ (Not explaining that one on
list.) Now can you supply your instructions to doing everything?
Especially since I seem to follow everything as to the first time I
went over it, with the original author in fact, and using a 3COM 3C509
-COMBO card on the hosting machine and targeting the terminal server I
mentioned earlier. The Ethernet traces I kept generating seemed to
indicate I was coming close. But I never saw the prompt on the
terminal emulator. Same thing here. Both with the hub directly
connected to a port on my regular router, and also to the computer
with a separate networking device.

My only problem is now that of MMJ cables. The two I have are showing their age.
