I've got PATHWORKS running on NT 4.0.
You can basically CTERM out to other boxes and download files using a horrendous GUI to
FAL.
But it works nicely, does LAT too.

Fun! Where would I get it? ;)
While you're at it, DECnet/DOS was really nice for the time. I
believe (but am not certain, can anyone clarify?) that it is what grew
into Pathworks.
DEC made an 8-bit ISA Ethernet card, that also (inexplicably) had a
port on it for one of the DEC "puck" mice.
DECnet/DOS supported file transfers and CTERM, and I think LAT but I
may be misremembering that part. I seem to recall it having worked
pretty well. At the time, I was using it on my home network, which
consisted of a MicroVAX-II, a VAXstation-2000, and a 16MHz 80286-based
DOS machine, the latter of which was state of the art at the time.
Does anyone have a copy of DECnet/DOS? I no longer do, at least not
that I can find.
