Please excuse the cross-post, but my question spans all four areas; networking, VPN's, and sysadmin & VMS. I know the standard Digital (now Compaq) position is that their local network protocols are not supported over WAN's. In the past, I have been successful at bridging DEC LAN protocols with hardware bridges on dedicated, point to point circuits. Granted performance was poor at times and occasionally flakey. I have another situation, without the benefit of dedicated circuits, where I need to bridge two DEC environments (running 5.5-2 without IP and CMU/IP isn't an option) over an IP network. This is a temporary situation, so the cost of dedicated circuits just won't work here. Has anyone been successful at this taboo setup and if so, can you point me to FAQ's, LDP's, and most importantly, the necessary code to enable my Linux systems on each end of the IP network to bridge the DEC protocols to basically create a VPN? I don't care about encryption, compression would be great as long as latency isn't increased. A big TIA!!!
