Has anyone actually managed to get this to work (i.e. RSTS/E + DECNET 4.1)? :)

Just installed RSTS/E V10.1-L w/ DECnet/E V4.1 on my 11/83 :)

A coworker put a MicroVaxII in a vt103 with 4 serial lines.
He had fun telling people the VT WAS the Vax, not a terminal.
Very nice! I assume he beefed up the power supply; do you know how he
did it? My VT103 has a PDP-11/23 in it and it's borderline on current.
I'd love to put a VAX in there.

I could maybe work on it a little bit, but I'm pretty buried too. I think we can leverage (at least somewhat) existing equipment to get a head start on this.

I've recently gotten RSX-11M+ 4.6 installed in simh (and I'm feeling more and more comfortable with SYSGEN. ;))
Except, i'm stuck with getting DECnet working.
It seems the tape on the trailing-edge ftp site is either corrupted, or i'm terrible at using tapes in simh. Considering the presence of the .errs file in the archive and google saying a lot of the tapes are corrupted, i'm gonna lean towards that answer. Anyone have the DECnet for RSX-11M+ tape(s) anywhere?
Thanks!

We can borrow some of the ideas from AT&T Long Lines and
have our own
hobbyist telecom grid. I mean, it's the next logical step
right? Know
anyone with large fibre or copper spools laying around? ;)
We can do this.

Hello!
Currently the longest run for WiFi happens to be around the
distance from the hills somewhere inside Clark County NV to
about the hills somewhere by Salt Lake Utah. But I'm not sure
what was used.
Oh and look into how the return to Mars prior to the group
we've got up there now accomplished its work.
Oh and Dave all of them used the shower.

And licenses. ;)
It's pretty easy to pass the test, especially for
technician. I'm a VE (that's "volunteer examiner") and we
run regular testing sessions here in Silicon Valley twice a
month. Almost everybody who comes in to take the technician
test passes - even little kids :-)
Bob WU6V
I'm also a VE. In addition, I teach the Tech and General classes. It
typically takes 30 hours of study for Tech, and an additional 30 hours
of study for General. Extra is about 60 additional hours of study, but
I don't teach those because the class would run ~8 weeks and lugging
gear back and forth is no fun!

We'd probably use DDCMP to get it to the async level, right?
Maybe. I know that AX.25 has a protocol ID byte that
specifies the
packet type being piggybacked - I'm pretty sure IP is 0xCC.
It might
be that someone has already implemented a DECnet payload,
but it's a long shot.
I doubt it. We could, though.
We could build our own TNCs that spoke 1200/9600 baud
AX.25 on one
side and DDCMP on the other. All it really takes is some
firmware...
That'd be a really cool gizmo, and completely useless to
anyone except
for a couple of people to boot :-)
I would LOVE to do that. That sounds like great gobs of fun.
Realistically, a smarter thing might be to try WiFi. I think the
current distance record for WiFi is something like 250
miles; how far
is between you and Steve?? Of course, you'll need some
pretty tall towers...
I don't know specifically where he is, but I think he's east of me.
There are mountains...that'd be tough.
