<div>The folks did write their own stuff. IIRC, Megan Gentry did an ethernet file xfer program for RT11. Under the Real Time single user system networks were thought of as a multiuser thing. <br/>
<br/>
Remember, most RT11 stuff was not using XM monitors and ran on stuff like 11/34s not 11/73s.<br/>

There are no device drivers included with RT11 for anything that I
<br/>
recognize as a synchronous interface, so I would assume it only supported a
<br/>
standard asynchronous serial port.
<br/>
<br/>
But that's another curious thing - there ARE drivers included with RT11
<br/>
for the DEUNA, DEQNA and the Pro series Ethernet NI. What was the point of
<br/>
those? Did DEC think people would write their own networking software?
