I tested out the DECnet RT on my PDT11/150 when I worked for DEC.
It was just 2400 baud serial link DECnet into the office Vax and Easynet
since I had no sync modem at home to connect with. Worked fairly well
although
I think Kermit was faster at bulk file transfers.
Set host from the RT11 to the VAX was fun.

Does anyone know where one could acquire DECNET
for RT-11?
A list member has it, or has said so in the past anyway, but at
this point I'm thinking maybe they don't want to give it out?
I've always wanted to try it too. My understanding is that it's
from pre-Ethernet days so it requires a DMR-11 or DMC-11 (or
emulation thereof).
Re TCP/IP for RT-11 -- what's wrong with Alan Baldwin's package?
I haven't gone to shop-pdp.kent.edu in eons and don't know if it's
still around (the domain name still exists but at least right now
I can ping it but not connect any other way), but I was very
impressed with it.
