By the way, Steve. What version of RSTS/E?
I noticed another "odd" thing here.
.set /host=pluto
NCT -- CTERM is not available on host
NCT -- Using RMT
RMT -- Remote Host incompatibility error
The first message from the responding node contains OS and protocol identifiers. The
protocol identifiers, if I read the RSTS client correctly, are RSTS, RSX, VMS, and TOPS-20
protocols respectively (for 1 and up). TOPS-20 is also used by RT-11; I forgot what
Ultrix uses, either RSTS or TOPS-20 protocol I think.
If you run the "official" network terminal client on RSTS, it will give you a
very similar message when connecting to non-RSTS because only the RSTS protocol was
officially supported. But the "netuns" client supports all four. I have a
summary of all four protocols somewhere which I used to extend the DECnet/Linux client; or
you could use that code as a reference implementation if you need one.
