A PMR server is included as unsupported software with DECnet on RSX.
So I have the code for the server side.
RSX NFT and FTS supports using PMR when accessing remote files. The requirements
(according to the manual) is that all intermediate nodes needs to be VMS, and the final
node can be VMS or Ultrix, but this is documented in relationship on how to trasfer files
to/from DECnet Phase V nodes. So maybe no surprise about the claim that intermediate nodes
should be VMS then.
Interesting. RSTS had it too, I'm 90% sure, but it definitely was not shipped in the
product and I don't have the code for it.
I'd be interested in the RSX code to reverse engineer the protocol (and do a pmr.py
from that).
