You and me both!
I have over a 130 documented fixes and enhancements to Tops-20, some of
them massive.? This does not include what I've completely rewritten from
scratch.? Several items are in active development.
Yet I have no idea who I'd give them to.? A few might interest XKL,
perhaps.? I guess I'll do something Github, one of these days.
I wore out all my vulgar language when Jupiter was cancelled. Seems like
it's all 'Darn it', 'Golly' and 'Gee whiz' these days.

I had more or less forgotten. Yes, as distributed, it has a bug. I
have fixed it, but of course, noone else have that.
For now, the simple solution, pick MIM::DU:[5,54]RRS.TSK, and you'll
be good.
Sigh! I really hope the whole DEC/Mentec/HP ownership mess can be
sorted one day. I have about 100 fixes or improvements to RSX sitting...

Is there something different with patch levels or otherwise?

And to complement the picture a little more. On RSX, you need a
program called RRS, which is provided among the "unsupported
utilities" in the DECnet distribution.

Yeah, that's what I found out, too.
On Tops-20, the CTERM client is called CTERM-SERVER (don't ask)
whereas the NRT client is called SETHOST.? SETHOST is /quite/ old and
I had been hacking it for efficiency and fixing a few bugs.
It now has an alternate debugging entry to try to force Tops-20 NRT
(which will also work on Tops-10) and ignore the remote node type
until it can't proceed any further.? Here are the results from my own
tests; they indicate that a CTERM (server) object does not exist on
ELVIRA.
I'm not sure, but I had thought that CTERM had not been done on RSTS/E.
