Hi everybody,
It is amazing to see this list becoming active again. FYI all user land utilities use sockets API. Should James API be that I think most of them and libraries could be recompiled and work with the user land DECnet implementation.
Looking forward to see this moving forward soon.

We use the linux-denet FAL (File Access Listener) server, which implements DEC's DAP (Data Access Protocol). The Linux FAL has a configuration file that uses the file suffix to look up RMS file attributes for common use cases. Otherwise, I think it defaults to STREAM_LF format.
I think your DECnet routing code is the golden egg. If DECnet routing works without a Linux decnet kernel module, I would think the userland stuff would be a much easier chore to get working.

Interlink used our code for their IBM SNA DECnet gateway and it has been fully stress tested
What commands are you interested in using?

James,
Do you have any idea whether the linux-decnet user land utilities do/might work? Being relieved of tracking Linux kernel network driver changes in the Linux decnet module would be a big improvement.

Daniel Watts, Bao Claylinde, Barry Stone and I worked on this network stack for many years. One other fellow, a friend of Dan's, did the MOP implementation
Dan and I worked in it starting in 1985. Bao joined a few years later and work the Ethernet driver with IBM engineers for AiX. I believe he also helped HP Ethernet driver as well. These drivers are well implemented everywhere now allowing the change of address to the AA-Xx-Xx DECnet address space. Bao also greatly improved the performance of our LAT
The code compiles on all modern Linux and UNIX systems as it is a user space implementation. I do need to remove the activation key code so no activation key will be required
John Montgomery who is working for Microsoft now wrote the extensive documentation. It is very comprehensive and took a good while to complete with his then fiancé!
If folks would let me know the versions of Linux and UNIX that they need tested I will set up a development environment for those servers and confirm that it is operational. I believe we have functionality test suites as well that I will make available.
I appreciate your interest
Jim

Wow, this is amazing...Some friends and I were just lamenting the
current state of the Linux DECnet support (unmaintained and slowly
breaking more with each kernel release) a couple of days ago.
I'm just a user, I have no authoritative role in any of this, but I
will do anything I can to help facilitate this. How would you like to
proceed?
And, of course, thank you for doing this!

I am looking for some one to discuss making available an user space

My company sold it as DEKnet and openDNA
If there is interest please reach out
I, for one, am VERY strongly interested. Are you proposing making
this free software?
