[HECnet] Next retro comms project?

[Steve Davidson]

I can take a look at imaging it.   It is RX50 format.   I do have a complete set of "orange" binders with updates.   I seem to remember that it is four (4) 3-inch binders, but I'll have to check.

I have a DECnet kit for RT-11.   From what I remember it is HUGE!
It can not make use of I/D space so at one point RT Engineering stopped
development on it.   When I joined the RT group in 1984 I was supposed to
work on DECnet but within a week of me joining they cancelled the project.
I had a hard time understanding why a company that billed itself as 
a network connected company would ever cancel such a product!   I 
wound up doing user-mode utilities and SPR's instead.   Yuch!

Any chance you can image the kit and make it available?   If it's that 
old it's covered by the Supnik license.   Do you have documentation?

As I just mentioned in a post, I've been looking for this for years!
