Using the various implementations in RSX, I can tell that it's not

Actually I do not really know which seems which: I based my assumptions on

Bit rotting is a big issue of mine :)
Thanks, but in this case the mistake is probably mine. I would have guessed that TOPS-10
used the RSTS flavor of RTERM. Johnny's experiment certainly says otherwise.
It does, but I would be careful about saying it's absolutely conclusive.
First of all, do RSTS/E have more than one remote terminal protocol implementation?
Second, the RRS application (which connects to RSTS/E systems) might be checking
explicitly for RSTS/E, while it might otherwise have worked just fine against TOPS-10.
The TOPS-20 application did work just fine against TOPS-10. No denying that one. But I
really do not know what the different programs do under the hood.
