Now, are the issues related to us trying to run it in a VM, or is it related to us being bad at configuring DECnet? Could you detail exactly how you configured DECnet please? I just installed DECnet using `@[0,1]INSTAL LAY' command and answered the qusetions. After all I renamed DECNET$:NETUNS.TSK to NET.TSK to allow RSTS connect to RSX nodes. BTW, i tried 3 different decnet tapes, and only one of them works.
