I had to try too, under VAX/VMS 5.5-2:
$ monitor
MONITOR> monitor ethernet
%MONITOR-E-NOCLASSES, no classes specified
MONITOR> monitor notthere
%MONITOR-E-INVCLSNM, class-name "NOTTHERE" is invalid or not uniquely
identified
MONITOR>

I haven't had an opportunity to check on newer versions of VMS, but it's trivial
to see if at least some support is still there for them.
On a VMS system, try
$ MON ETHERNET
or any of the other undocumented monitor classes. Then try a command that definitely
isn't going to be there
$ MON NOTTHERE
If the error messages are different - then at least some of the support for the
undocumented classes is still there.

Subject: RE: [HECnet] SCSISE adapter -> listings
Brian,
Speaking of source listings, VMS V4.<mumble> had a "secret" patch for
MONITOR.EXE. It enabled the monitor class Ethernet. Is that code still
hidden in MONITOR?
The MONITOR utility was written in PL/I at the time. Probably rewritten,
right?
