[HECnet] ANF10 network --> node limitations

[R. Voorhorst]

Yes I can provide that but we must see where to put it; maybe temporarily on Swbv55 as that one is usually active on hecnet or I will create a Tops10 node linked to Swbv55 with a sync line.

Remember though, Anf10 has a limitation of 64 nodes including DN200's, so there is a limit.

Reindert,

can you put the DN200 complete package up for grabs?

Ad se can have an  "infinite number" of virtual dn200's to link the systems together, this might be the best thing for a HECanf10 before Paul writes a perl version -:)
