Welcome.  You are certainly in the right place.  There is a prodigious amount of knowledge here for DECnet on multiple platforms besides VMS, such as RSX, Tops-20 and Tops-10 as well as whatever else I forgot to mention.

Some of us are actually still doing development from fixing bugs to actively implementing functionality from the various specifications that never made it into the released products.

There's plenty of online documentation to help you get a node up as well as the aforementioned specifications, if you really want to get up to your elbows.

Hello, newbie here :)

I used to run OpenVMS 7.3 under simh on a Raspberry Pi, but have never learnt past the "newbie" stage about OpenVMS.

With the availability of the x86 Community Edition, I have now 9.2-1 running under Proxmox at home, and thought "maybe it's time to learn about DECnet and join the HECnet".

So here I am, with exactly 0 idea of how DECnet works but the intention to read some of the docs and figure it out enough to join a node or two (or more?)

Regards,

Alice
