Zane, got any RSTS/E system up now? Might be interesting to hear if it could talk with RSX...
I *STILL* need to find the cables to get my systems up and running.   I have
a 20Mbit *Commercial* FIOS line basically going to waste, since until my
servers are up and running a residential line would work just fine for me.
My RSTS/E system is actually in worse shape than PDXVAX and MONK.   At least
they're in the racks, though they aren't cabled up.   The BA123 chassis for
CAMECA is sitting under the workbench in the garage, while I think most of
the boards are over in the corner where it will live.   Realistically I don't
see me being online for at least another couple months, as I have a lot of
work to do on the house before the weather gets to bad.
I really miss having my VMS systems online 24x7, or being able to flip a
switch and have a PDP-11 powered up.

Maybe it's just me who's crazy enough to keep several PDP-11 (and PDP-8) systems up and running at home... :-)

But anyway. DECnet (well, phone, DAP and CTERM) between RSX and Linux isn't really working, even though it should be pretty similar to talking with VMS systems (from Linux point of view).
