Not working yet ('no route to host')...

It's easy. Just convert the net and node number to 4 digit hex numbers and
stick them together to get the base part of the filename.

I've written a little python (>= 2.5) script for it, that I use in my other
scripts:

+++
#!/usr/bin/python

from sys import argv

nodestr = argv[1]
(zone, sep, nodestr) = nodestr.rpartition(":")
(net , sep, nodestr) = nodestr.rpartition("/")
(node, sep, pnt    ) = nodestr. partition(".")

def ToInt(obj):
  try:
    return int(obj)
  except:
    return 0

zone = ToInt(zone)
net  = ToInt(net )
node = ToInt(node)
pnt  = ToInt(pnt )

print "%04x%04x" % (net, node)

Bye, Wilfred.
