TSS-8 wouldn't have a chance of doing DECnet, I'd say.
But in another way, that would perhaps have been an interesting system
to have it for. But by DECnet time, TSS-8 was mostly not worked on
anymore. But the PDP-8 is a fun architecture. The only serious
misfeature is the interrupt handling around changed instruction field,
which forces anyone who wants to implement virtual memory to implement
full emulation of the PDP-8 architecture for that one special case.

Bummer, I was hoping that there was a version for
TSS-8. That would
have been exceptionally cool. I am always amazed what could be wrung
out of that processor.

Actually, I just remembered that there is one client and server task
included, and that is the TALK/LISTEN. Sortof makes sense, since you
might want the operator to be able to communicate with operators on
other systems.
