I have no idea, sorry. Steve might, or someone with more low-level Linux 
network knowledge, I've never seen that happen before. I can only assume 
it's happening below the DECnet layer, either in the card driver or the 
card itself perhaps.

It doesn't entirely surprise me that ping TO linux works, VMS is very 
fussy about its packets whereas Linux DECnet is a little more tolerant :)
