[HECnet] Configuring py-decnet.

[Johnny Billquist]

Hi, Thord.

The RSX manuals are probably partially usable, but there are certainly 
some significant differences in how this works in RSX and RSTS/E as well.
I noticed that you have phase III manuals for RSTS/E V7 on bitsavers. 
They might be partially helpful as well? (I suspect you already know these.)

About your setup. Not sure why you have pydecnet there between the 
virtual tap ethernet and real ethernet. Is it implicit that you have two 
pydecnet instances in there, with some distance between them? Because 
from the delqa you can get to the physical ethernet, and if your Cisco 
is on that same ethernet, then I'd say pydecnet is not needed.
