I can at least say that most of DECnet in RSX is written in Macro-11.
The only things written in Bliss, that I have found is PHONE, and the
P/OS network management code.
PHONE is shared with RSX-11M-PLUS, but the P/OS Network Management is
P/OS only. RSX have a different implementation.

What language did you implement in?? I've got a
number of sources in
BLISS, some of which don't appear to have originated on the 36 bit
platform; perhaps some version of DAP for FTS.
How did it work between you RSX folks and the people doing whatever was
in the DN20's?? The 20 host got up to being a Phase IV router, but I
don't believe the DN20's went past Phase III.
