Life is easy. Just grab the FRODO distribution :)

The links "Download PiDP-11 DU0 RSX11M+ V4.6 w/ BQ TCP/IP" and "Download
PiDP-11 DU1 containg RSX Sig Tapes".
I am trying to document what I did to get a dual-adapter 11/93 from the
same base install here (WIP):

I unpacked that decnet46 tape image with BRU, and did netgen with
that.? I get an endnode, I missed the fact it didn't ask me if I
wanted something else.? So how would I get a router instead?
Sounds like you are faced with an endnode kit. Then you don't have a
choice.
Download the full DECnet kit from MIM, and make a new installation
with that. Now that you've come this far, that is fairly easy to do,
since the tape image exists at MIM::
I supplied the addresses and vectors to match
what SIMH has, but at
network startup I get a complaint about the DMC-0 vector:
Something must be using vector 320.
Try "CON DIS FULL ATT" and spot what might be using it.
NCP SET SYS
NTL -- DMC Template -- Vector
320 Not Available
????.INT1??? $$DMC
NTL -- DMC Template -- Vector 324 Not Available
????.INT2??? $$DMC
NTINIT -- Failed To Load Line DMC-0
ASN =XX:
NCP SET EXE STA ON
As far as I can tell nothing else uses that vector.? It's happy with
DMC-1 (vector 330). Also, I can't get CFE to set my nearby node
names:
CFE>def nod 41.1 name python
CFE -- Name Node Server QIO failed, Function=IO.WND, I/O Status=205
Does it matter that I specified that name during netgen?? But I also
gave it MIM and that's defined just fine.
I wonder if it might be that the node name server isn't running. But I
don't understand why MIM would be possible to define in that case.
Do you perhaps already have a PYTHON defined with some other number?
Also, if you have DECnet up and running, check for [5,54]NNCFSL.TSK,
which is a task you can use to copy all the node names from another
node (like MIM).
