DECmail would rock - how hard is it to install?
Not very hard at all!
1). grab tape
2). attach tape (read the .ini)
3). log in!
4). @[0,1]instal layered_products
5). choose decmail
6). Press return until it completes.
No idea how to configure it though, but considering the lack of TCP/IP i'd assume
it's pretty much just for users of the system it's installed on, might have DECnet
bits though.
I know NOTHING about RSTS btw..
I barely know anything about RSTS myself ;). I'm trying to learn my way around,
though.

So any chance of uploading this image anywhere?
If you want to rebuild your own monitor, give me a couple minutes to upload a new image.
If you just want an install to play with, use http://gewt.net/rsts.7z with a pass for 1,2
of "epicfail"
http://gewt.net/rsts-proper.7z 1,2 still has a pass of epicfail and I believe there's
also 99,98 with a password of testing. This doesn't have DECmail installed though. A
config for simh is included, edit it to suit your needs. I'm not amazing at this or
I'd add a nice README and a shiny barely-valid-HTML webpage that looks like it came
from 1993 about it.

That reminds me, if someone has a turnkey RSX or RSTS box around
(that I could just plug in to SIMH and play with), ideally with
DECNET support, please let me know.
If you can't find one, I can make a RSTS image up for you. (I've never
done DECnet under RSX, so that'd take me awhile to figure out)
Which version of RSTS? I can give my disk image for my install of 10.1 if anyone wants to
try and figure out what I did wrong or wants to make it in to a turnkey install it's
pretty basic as i'm new to RSTS. (it has DECmail though)
I'm cool with RSTS - whatever version is fine.
