[HECnet] PyDECnet 1.0-556

[David Moylan]

Ok point taken.

Paul - I'm happy for wherever you decide to host your code. I'm fine with Github or Gitlab or if you want to keep hosting it yourself.
I'm just happy with the work you have done on this project. It's great to have DECnet support on a modern platform.

Cheers, Wiz!!
