Pay attention, Paul. :-)

hecnet-1-1023.stupi.net, not hecnet-1023...

But anyway, I think Peter explicitly locked hecnet-1-1023 down so that 
it won't answer ping, or most other things. But the Multinet links 
should work.

And I have configured much of that PyDECnet instance up so that it 
accepts connections with the same parameters as people were using to Mim.

So try just pointing at it, and see if it doesn't just work.
If not, let me know, and we'll sort it out.

And I explicitly asked that Mim.Stupi.NET not have any kind of 
filtering, since I have found that to be a very good debugging tool for 
my TCP/IP, not to mention that I do like being able to play around with 
different protocols and services.
(And RSX isn't much of a security risk to start with in todays internet...)
