Hello from Gregg C Levine
Oh? There's a group based on Source Forge, that is running a
Linux-DECnet project. According to them, once you've turned on the
requisite features inside a standard 2.4.x series kernel for that form
of networking, that is basic DECnet services. And made, and installed
the required items, or installed the necessary items as pre-made
binaries, everything should work, including using the MOP protocols,
with TFTP. Remember, in this wonky world nothing is impossible, except
governments. And a few of my friends are working on that one.
