Ultrix have DAP, for example. (As does Linux.)
RSX can be built with a DAP that don't use RMS, and you just get
whatever functionality is offered by FCS, which is just a subset as well.
But I suspect it's still very non-trivial. :-)

Are there any thoughts about adding file transfer capabilities to PyDECnet at some point
in the future? If a pyDECnet node could implement a FAL server to share a directory and/or
offer a way to copy files to/from other nodes over DECnet, that would be really cool. I
think it could make a very nice option for moving files between DECnet nodes and modern
systems without needing to wrestle with Linux DECnet drivers or install TCP/IP on the
DECnet nodes. I don't know how hard it would be to implement, or if there's any
way I could contribute.
Yes, I'm planning to do that at some point. DAP is a rather large protocol and it
assumes RMS, which is another kettle of fish.
