Expect a stable endnode implementation within a few weeks, to about
three months max. Hopefully it won't be much longer before routing
is operational, several hooks are in already. DECnet uses all the
latest 2.2.xx features like the destination cache and neighbour
cache.

People are starting to test the kernel patch and give me useful feedback.
Shortly I'm going to be doing an "endianness check" after which I'd
like all those who've got big endian machines free to check it out
and report any bugs too me.

I report the latest status of the project on a web page:
http://www.sucs.swan.ac.uk/~rohan/DECnet/status.html

If anyone want to know more, please send me an email,

Steve.
