[HECnet] Configuring py-decnet.

[Johnny Billquist]

Indeed I did. I must admit that the picture is unclear. If we're talking 
GRE using pydecnet (does it do GRE?), then why the ethernet jump between 
pydecnet and GRE? There do need to some something between the ethernet 
and GRE tunnel. My assumption was probably premature.
