I would like to, but this machine is getting shut down within the
hour, and I've not yet even read the docs for TCP/IP.
It's recent enough I think; it's an 11/44 with 1MW of RAM, plenty of
disk (RA92) running -Plus v4.6. Only baseline, though, not sysgenned.
Ok. I assume you already have DECnet installed. Installing TCP/IP should
actually be pretty simple and straight forward. Download the disk or
tape - MIM::US:[FTP]. Extract the information (atleast if from tape),
run IPGEN, and then you just need to invoke the startup scripts at boot,
and probably config a few things in a couple of files to be up and
running. It really should not be that hard. And of course, I can answer
questions as well... :-)

I have another VMS system that has an IP stack
installed (AXPEE::), I
will try to retrieve the file I'm using for testing via that, and copy
it via DECnet from there to the RSX system. If that fails, I will try
using MIM as Johnny offered.
Annnnnd this works! It will be a hassle to do this, as I want to move
a bunch of files, but I have a process that works at least. Thank you
everyone!
