I've been meaning to bring back up my old RSTS/E v8.0-6 system (that was
probably the last "real" RSTS version in my opinion).
On it I have the DECnet/E 2.0 (if memory serves) package, which is Phase
III.

That's awesome! IAS doesn't get the love it deserves.
I'm should to try bringing up an IAS 3.4 system again from the tapes at
Bitsavers later tonight - I've previously run 3.0, but had some issue
during the SYSGEN on 3.4 ? exactly the issue I can't recall right now.
But, unfortunately seems it won't able to be on HECnet.
There is (limited) compatibility between phase III and phase IV.
It would be possible to be on HECnet, but only accessible by other
machines in the same area, I think.
Poul would know better what the restrictions are.
