I've been running latd on my Raspberry Pi 4 for a while (the default
install starts up using the hostname as a service name).
From OpenVMS LATCP it shows up as -
LATCP> show service pi5
LAT Control Program
Service Name: PI5
Service Status: Available
Service Ident: Linux 5.10.63-v7l+
Node Name Status Rating Identification
PI5 Reachable 10 Linux 5.10.63-v7l+
Would you care to share your RaspbianDECnet mods Keith? I'd like to try
this too.
The other question to me is - should I pioneer this using the just released
Raspberry Pi OS Debian Bullseye? I think I might!

Well, that was an interesting compilation of the
raspbian kernel.
I cloned https://github.com/JohnForecast/RaspbianDECnet and got busy. I
had to remove the --help-- stanzas from the Kconfig file. They were
tripping something up.
I had to move the MAC address change to the bridge (I use
/etc/network/interfaces with bridges and taps etc..)
DECnet is all working on a 32bit raspbian on a pi3b+, HECnet node name
29.115 - I'll christen it at some point :)
Thank you John Forecast for doing all the hard work.

Right. It was/is slightly more than a toolkit. It does have a couple of
processes which deals with circuits and executor management. And I think
there is TLK/LSN so you can communicate. But beyond that, you were on your
own.
And no, OS/8 under RTS-8 don't allow them to be counted as one. :-)

I think
DECnet/8 is for RTS-8, but there never was one for OS-8.
Yes, the DECnet-8 was for RTS although you could run OS/8 as a task
under RTS (so maybe those two count as the same). In any case AFAIK
there was never any NFT or FAL or remote terminal or NCP/NML or
anything else like that implemented for DECnet/8. It was more of a
toolkit kind of thing where you could write your own RTS program to
make a DECnet connection to another node. What you sent over that Never heard of DECnet for CP/M although there
certainly was one for
MSDOS.
Linux is interesting, although I doubt that was
put there by DEC.
Probably somebody added it later.
Linux was definitely defined post-DEC. I simply just talked with a Linux
FAL from RSX and checked what value it put in the OS field, and added that
to my list from there.
And what the heck is COPOS/11?? I see that is
says TOPS-20 front
end, but I thought TOPS20 used the same RSX20F as TOPS10.
I don't think it's the same as the RSX20F frontend. I have no idea what it
is, but it's in the source files for the RSX DECnet code. Sounds like some
oddball thing that existed somewhere. CSS thing maybe?
And DTF/MVS? Is that the IBM OS MVS?
I almost suspect it might be, but again, no real clue. All I can say is
that this is what is in the RSX sources.
