I'm trying to throw it in to the rest of the stuff using a VMS VM. TOPS-20 V4.1? That would be phase III only. If it even exists... It exists for sure! $INFORMATION (ABOUT) VERSION GSORG TOPS-20 V4.1 KS10, TOPS-20 Monitor 4.1(5471) TOPS-20 Command processor 5.1(1354) Program is OPR, version is 4(414) $INFORMATION (ABOUT) DECNET Local DECNET node: TOPS20 Accessible DECNET nodes are: TOPS20 Ok. Cool. I seem to remember various issues and stuff with DECnet on a KS and TOPS-20, but I don't recall details. Thanks. I thought it was Phase III but wasn't sure. Can Phase IV work with Phase III? There's some rule pertaining to that I forgot... Yes, it can. The limitations are that phase III nodes can only talk with machines in the same area, and only machines with node numbers less than 256 (obviously).
