Hi,

I am no network expert and looking for help. 

Two SIMH OpenVMS 7.3 DECnet Plus nodes - QCOCAL (1.550) and CLOUDY 
(1.551), connected over Johnny's UDP bridge. FAL directories across the 
network work fine. However I cannot get NCP status from the remote host 
from either. Also the circuits do not seem to be setting themselves up, 
I don't know if that is a cause or effect of the Remote Protocol Errors.

Note: A SIMH PDP-11/24 (JUICHI, 1.552) runnign RSX-11M-PLUS is colocated 
(running on the same linux host) with CLOUDY, and NCP queries somehow 
work fine to it.

I have a PDP-11/24 running
