[HECnet] Intermittent Connection with PyDECnet?

[Thomas DeBellis]

I don't recall how IP over AX.25 is supposed to identify; whether you 
have to break and do something voice.

ssh or any other encryption (except perhaps for certificate validation) 
is probably out of the question; I don't believe you are allowed to 
encrypt payloads.

HECnet is hobbyist-only (or is somebody actually making money here?)  
That much of it would probably be within FCC criteria, but you'd have to 
put some routing table entries in to make sure that only the DECnet 
traffic was going over the radio.

Just what kind of HF agony are we talking here?  110 baud?  I'd say most 
things on DECnet are probably fine with 1200 baud except for large file 
transfers.
