As far as I know, the last (sortof) supported DECnet on Windows were for
XP. Anything beyond works if you're lucky, but I would assume you're
mostly lost by now.
CTERM would definitely be more effort than LAT, and probably also less
good. LAT has a better model.
My experience with latd in Linux is that it sucks. It sortof works if
you are lucky, but there are problems in it, which makes it undesirable
to use with RSX at least.
And if you have DECnet on Windows, why would you use Kermit? FAL works
fine for me with XP. I can just browse the files of my RSX system from
Windows, and copy them across, both ways...

I have the CD's from HP for Windows 2000, but I'll be darned if I can
lay hands on them.? So I have a Windows 2000 laptop that has LAT on it
and I can use that to run Kermit, which has been useful when I have
really destroyed things.
However, I just got a new Windows 10 machine and I'd like to put DECnet
on it.? So is that bring your wallet?? Anybody know anything about
PuTTY??? That would be straightforward to adapt to NRT and (maybe) LAT.
One assumes CTERM would be more effort.
I have the latd package on one of my Linux hosts and that works great.
Right into the 20.? I have to scrounge up another Ethernet adapter
before I reconfigure the whole thing for DECnet because of some
connectivity issues.
