I have heard of three 'standard' (I.E., DEC supported) front ends for
the 20,
1. RSX-20F for the terminals and KL management,
2. MCB for DECnet and
3. DN60 for IBM RJE workstations (which I maintained at Columbia.
I do know of some hacked front ends:
1. Case Western had a second front end running terminals (that's right
two front ends with DH11's).? How they got that many users signed on
without the system melting into a puddle of bits is beyond me.
2. MIT Chaos on a KL uses a DN20 for the Ethernet communications (an NI
not being available at the time)
I never heard of COPOS/11, either but I don't get out much... Anybody else?

And what the heck is COPOS/11?? I see that is says TOPS-20 front end, but
I thought TOPS20 used the same RSX20F as TOPS10.
And DTF/MVS? Is that the IBM OS MVS?
