[HECnet] Configuring py-decnet.

[Johnny Billquist]

Aw, shit! (Excuse my language.)

I had more or less forgotten. Yes, as distributed, it has a bug. I have 
fixed it, but of course, noone else have that.

For now, the simple solution, pick MIM::DU:[5,54]RRS.TSK, and you'll be 
good.

Sigh! I really hope the whole DEC/Mentec/HP ownership mess can be sorted 
one day. I have about 100 fixes or improvements to RSX sitting...
