I will have to double-check. I didn't have to manually run ifconfig up (or the equivalent ip command invocation) on the the other tap that I'm using for simh, but maybe I do need to do that for pydecnet?

I did not run it as root, since I created the tap interface with the -u flag to make it usable by my non-root account. But that's another variable I can try to experiment with.

So, neither of those questions was dumb!
