<p>What kind of Phase II node did you test against?? I'm not aware
of many.<br>
</p>
<p>A VERY long time ago (late 1970's), DEC managed to get Columbia
to test something called a DN200, which was a DECnet based RJE
station. As it was far more expensive than a serial line based
printer, we never bought it (but never seemed to return it,
either).</p>
<p>The vestigial code in LPTSPL is still there, called NURD (Network
Unit Record Devices) which I was able to adapt to get our 20's to
print to each either. Basically I wrote a little server (called
LSRV) that emulated the NURD interface well enough. Then I
lobotomized some strategic parts of the spooler not to notice the
difference. Saved us a couple of thousand dollars on line
printers in the machine room.<br>
</p>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">As I recall, that was a Phase II node
which downloaded it's code from the 20. Or maybe it was the
version of MCB DN20's we had at the time.<br>

<font color="#000000">It does work well enough that I was able use it to verify <u>Phase II</u> support</font>. I plan to add intercept support for talking to non-adjacent nodes, but that isn't in yet. A primitive version is easy, a proper version is quite a lot harder.
