[HECnet] Intermittent Connection with PyDECnet?

[Thomas DeBellis]

Another way to do it might be to have multiple Ethernet adapters, one 
for the *Nix host and one dedicated to whatever simulator you're 
running.  For USB, this is really cheap and I found it more 
straightforward to configure.  You just shut off IP4, IP6 and ARP, DNS 
Etc. on the predictable interface and set it for multi-cast all.

This worked fine for me on Ubuntu.

However, I moved Johnny's bridge over to a Mac when I was giving it a 
buff and polish to see what Swift would complain about that gcc didn't.  
I haven't gotten around to moving it back yet.
