I am (slowly) moving toward getting your IP stack installed on a few
of the -PLUS systems, but there have been other priorities of late, like
keeping the power bills paid.
My "bridge between IP and DECnet" system had been a DS10L running VMS,
but it was a bit too modern for its own good, so its CPU fan seized up a
few weeks ago. I'm hoping to solve that problem soon, but with so many
other Linux systems here I'd prefer just to have direct
interoperability, as opposed to indirect.

?? I keep an
Ubuntu 12.10 VM running at the museum to use as a hop-off
point and file transfer system.? It sure would be nice to not have to do
that. :)
Easy. Set up an RSX system instead. Then you can transport files between
DECnet and TCP/IP easily, as well as send/receive mail, and run
interactive terminal sessions, and more... :-)
