Yup. We have an 8700 with Ultrix 2.0 that functions as a DECNET gateway.
The MicroVax (Node Moe) is on a separate coax. We installed a LAN bridge,
and brought up DECNET on the Ultrix side and it works. mailing
to decvax!cg-atla::moe::username gets mail to them. Our gateway is known to
them as "ATLA". Unfortunately, they didn't define MOE as a "router" so
until thet do, we have been unable to get mail past moe to the rest of the
cluster. (Larry and Curly, no less ! (-: )
There were no initial setup problems. We followed the directions and it
worked. The toughie was figuring out syntax to mail from moe to decvax and
beyond.
Send me mail if you want to compare files or anything....
