[HECnet] ANF10 network --> Anf10 KL<>KS + DN200

[R. Voorhorst]

L.S.

Anf10 ethernet and sync lines are 2 separate domains and currently there are no standard interconnections.
The (now late) Johnny Ericsson had an Anf10 tunnel but I never tried it.
On a KL10 with dte interface a certain routing should be possible, but that cannot yet be done
I also restored a DN200 Pdp11 simh workstation (see Anfu63) with terminals and peripherals with remote printing, plotting etc.
The network looks like this from the multi kdp/dup node with 2 decnet and 2 anf10 active:

If anyone is curious, here below is a link to the ANF-to-Ethernet code by RDH.
It contains some nice explanation too :)
