Copy the file over to your RSX system. Then you use the RSX virtual

VCP CON <file>/TAP
will give you a device name back, and then you mount and play around as
usual.
VCP DISCONNECT dev:
will then drop it again.
However, be aware that DECnet file transfers might mangle some file
attributes, in case you will need to add /ATT:TU81 or whatever to tell
VCP that this thing should have the attributes of that device type.
Add /SAVE to restore this back to the file attributes.

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::
Where is that kit?
