   Yeah, what he said.

   I've never worried about performance, but when I ran a SIMH VAX
emulator on a Mac, I was pleased with the DECnet-like behavior of
DECnet(-Plus) between my main IA64 system (ITS, 10.0.0.140, 1.140) and
the pseudo-VAX (WISP, 10.0.4.32, 1.32).  Normal file access, like, say:
      ITS $ directory /size wisp::
just worked.

   In that case, the Mac was the router between the two IP subnets
(main Ethernet = 10.0.0.0/24 and Mac-emulator = 10.0.4.0/24).
