Paul you stated Initially the code (which currently doesn't work!) puts the interface into promisc mode and squirts packets straight onto the network (that bit works it's the DEQNA emulation that doesn't), this obviates the need for a working Linux DECnet routing layer :-) ts10 has a working ethernet in it's latest dev versions as I thnk Paul said and I have successfully coonected VMS under ts10 to Linux via tun/tap. My next project (when I get rid of this terrible RSI) is to look down the DEQNA code in ts10 to fix my DEQNA for simh. > "So I wrote a little daemon which makes that happen, by posting reads on > each of the tap<n> units and propagating any received packets to the other > tap<n> units.

I imagine the Linux bridging code whould also do this. patrick |
