How do I set my subscription to this list to digest mode? I tried the standard majordomo commands without success.
Good question. I'm not sure if the (old version of) majordomo we're running have that function.
Try just sending "help" to majordomo, and see what it supports...

I had a PDT-11/150 many years ago, mid-80s. It was kinda fun, but
also kinda pointless. The only thing you can run on it is RT-11.
I had one too back then and had a blast! RT-11 is terrific (infinitely
better than contemporary microcomputer OSes), and anyway a 150 will run
pretty much anything an 11/03 will run (but with 30 KW of memory instead of
just 28) so it's really pretty flexible. I wrote a FORTH-79 system on mine ...
FWIW, for those who like Forth, there's a Forth implementation available as a run-time system on RSTS/E. It's part of the unsupported stuff on V10.1 (and possibly somewhat earlier, maybe as early as V9.0, I forgot). I did the port; I used it among other things for implementing an interactive crash dump analyzer *very* loosely modeled on VMS "SDA".
Speaking of Forth, there is also FiG-Forth. It runs under RSX, RT-11 and standalone. I would assume it should work fine under RSTS/E as well, based on that, but I don't know for sure.
Can be found on MIM::DU:[FORTH]

Hello!
Probably.
But if I get the strings worked out regarding my plans, I might have a
host named Enterprise running.

Hey Dave,
When you installed RSTS/E and configured DECnet, what options did you give? I want to see what I did wrong. Did you do anything after installing the layered product that was special or did you configure it in the little installer thingy?

I thought encryption and commercial messages were strictly
verboten on HAM stuff.
They are. So let's not encrypt stuff. And how much commercial
data flows across HECnet? ;)
So, now that selling DECnet-based internet access to rural areas over
packet radio is out, how about we setup some HECnet nodes in
Antarctica?
We could probably do that! Is Ethan Dicks among us? If not, he
should be. He works down there. I've CCd him on this.

KXT11s are very fun boards. I have one, I like it a lot.
I don't have any KXJ11 though. They are as rare as hens' teeth,
though I do see one on eBay right now for a not-too-terrible price. I
just looked at the auction; it says "10+ available"!!!
I'll bet he'd accept a lower-than-normal offer if it were for a
quantity of them. Bulk purchase?

We could do that. I have some satcomm gear here.
