[HECnet] PyDECnet setup

[Thomas DeBellis]

My wife is a college professor (definitely smarter than me) and has a 
tutoring business on the side.  Some of the kiddies are indeed idiots, 
but as they typically never want to pay for anything, we don't do 
business with them (and for other reasons).

Some of them are simply misinformed or uninformed.  Among other things, 
I tutor shell scripting.

 1. You should see the lightbulb go off when they realize what they've
    been missing
 2. I get paid either way

Not a bad gig.

A real treat is when I get to tutor assembler.  It doesn't get any 
better than that, but it's only once or twice a year!
