I have never seen it either, but I would say it has to be at least phase
III, since the latest DECnet release for RSX do have notes about
compatibility with DECnet-RT. And RSX is phase IV, and that phase IV
implementation does not talk at all to phase II nodes.

IIRC, it?s only Phase II, I know it doesn?t support
Ethernet. More importantly I?ve been searching for a copy for over 20 years, and have yet
to have any success. I?ve heard rumors of a couple people that might have it, but nothing
has ever turned up. I also wonder if it will work on RT-11 V5.7.
The TCP/IP package for RT-11 works very well.

As far as I know DECnet RT was serial port only... I don't think they ever upgraded
it. I used it with DEC's Easynet by dialing in at 2400 baud to a VAX/VMS 11/750 and
the fact is -- performance made me switch to just using Kermit. I did leave DEC in
'86 so it might have changed.

Still looking for things to do at home here, so I?ve set up another PDP-11 with RT11
this time. I have v5.7 up and running just fine, but I?d really like to network it and I
can?t find a copy of DECnet-RT anywhere. Can someone send me a pointer?
BTW, was DECnet-RT ever upgraded to Phase IV or did it stop with III?
Yes, I know there?s a TCP/IP for RT11. I might actually end up using that instead,
but I?d prefer to have it on HECnet if I can.
Thanks,
