I think Steve Davidson is running SIMH on some pretty old hardware, I think a P3 might be able to pull it off.
It won't be blazingly fast of course...

While I have to try to bring MONK back up at some point to recover data (thankfully I have a second XP1000), I don't think I'll be leaving it running 24x7 anymore. I was already thinking about shutting down my servers to save power.
Right now my UNIX server is the only one still running, and I'm preparing to copy the data off, and redirect my DNS back to my .Mac account like I had it last Winter while we were house-hunting. I really don't have time to keep my own servers running anymore.

Do DECNET proxies work for this as well, so if I've got a proxy set up between two systems, the remote user gets the appropriate privs?

Yes, indeed.
You can use the TASK object to execute a command at a remote DECnet node.
Maybe it is best that you read through the chapter 8 of the DECnet for
OpenVMS networking manual:

Not sure about VMS, but in RSX this can all be controlled from software. There is a library of functions to run, abort and fool around with tasks on other hosts.
There are also parts available from the command line:
.nft /he
NFT is the Network File Transfer utility. It can perform file
transfers and file operations over the network.
Information is available for the following operations:
APPEND (/AP) .............. File Append commands
COPY ...................... File Transfer commands
DELETE (/DE) .............. File Deletion commands
DEFAULTS (/DF) ............ Set/Examine Defaults commands
DIRECTORY (/AT,/BR,/LI,/FU) Directory list commands
EXECUTE (/EX) ............. File Execution commands
IDENTIFY (/ID) ............ Identify commands
PROTECTION (/PR)........... File Protection commands
RENAME (/RE) .............. File Rename command
SPOOL (/SP) ............... File Spooling commands
SUBMIT (/SB) .............. File Submission commands
And the following subjects:
DATA CHECKING (/DC) ....... Remote file transfer data checking
FILESPECS ................. File Specification syntax
NODE NAMES ................ Node and Access control syntax
MODES (/AS,/AX,/BK,/IM,/RC) File transfer Mode switches
QUOTES .................... Quoting foreign filespecs
SWITCHES .................. NFT switch summary
VERSION NUMBERS ........... Version number processing
.
So, you can both run, submit to the spooler or the batch, files to remote machines.
