There are so many things seemingly lost right now it is depressing.
I do have RSX and DECnet (I even have properly signed documents allowing
me to have them), but unfortunately all the layered software seems to
have been lost in the Mentec Inc. disolvement.
Heck, if I could just locate the layered products, I'm even allowed to
have them. But they are currently lost. :-(
The current owner of it all is XX2247. However, I seem to have lost
contact with Dave Carroll, which is another problem. I'm not sure if
he's still alive or not, which might leave things even more in limbo
than before.
It's all a mess that just keeps going on.

For RSX, there are/were several relevant
products:
DECnet/SNA Gateway
RSX-11M+ 2780/3780 Emulator
RSX-11M+ 3271 Protocol Emulator
Unfortunately, I have never seen any of these products in real life,
and have no idea where they might be found today.
In the same vein, I have also not seen P.S.I for RSX in the wild. If
anyone would happen to have a distribution, it could be fun to look at.
This is unfortunate. If you or anyone else comes across it, please
try to preserve it.
