And to complement the picture a little more. On RSX, you need a program
called RRS, which is provided among the "unsupported utilities" in the
DECnet distribution.

Yeah, that's what I found out, too.
On Tops-20, the CTERM client is called CTERM-SERVER (don't ask) whereas
the NRT client is called SETHOST.? SETHOST is /quite/ old and I had been
hacking it for efficiency and fixing a few bugs.
It now has an alternate debugging entry to try to force Tops-20 NRT
(which will also work on Tops-10) and ignore the remote node type until
it can't proceed any further.? Here are the results from my own tests;
they indicate that a CTERM (server) object does not exist on ELVIRA.
I'm not sure, but I had thought that CTERM had not been done on RSTS/E.
!cterm-sERVER.EXE.2 elvira

_?RSTS/E type systems do not support Tops-20 NRT communications._
