<p>All of them mostly except HTTP.<br>
</p>
<p>The MMAILR that comes with PANDA has some brokeness, but works
over DECnet well enough. This is what I use between my machines
(not TCP/IP based SMTP). The way it is implemented makes
debugging particularly challenging and I have yet to consider what
to change to facilitate this. I had to do some hacks to the
monitor to get the HSTNAM module some things it wanted.<br>
</p>
<p>The PANDA Telnet client works over DECnet, but is limited to 36
bit hosts as it uses the simple NRT protocol. I looked at this
and SETHOST in order to properly do the connection code in Kermit.<br>
</p>
<p>The Tops-20 FTP client has hooks for all sorts of protocols, such
as Chaosnet and PUP. Putting in DECnet would be quite
straightforward and I intend to do this.</p>
<p>What it's waiting on is a patch to the monitor to allow an
arbitrary connection to have an NRT associated with it (this
appears to have existed previously, but was removed). My Extended
mode FTP server was designed from day zero to not care what
transport it runs on. It could trivially handle DECnet, but needs
the monitor patch in order to be started as the top level fork in
an NRT job.</p>
<p>There is also a bug that only surfaces when doing paged retrieves
of extremely large files. It's what kept me from getting it into
MRC's last PANDA distribution.</p>
<p>I have a number of rabbit holes to come up from to get back to
that...<br>
