DDCMP over sync, yes.   But DDCMP also works on an async line, and
that just requires protocol code that can talk to a raw mode TTY

PRO-380 running RSTS, and in fact it's a standard feature of some of
the PDP11 DECnet products.   (I'm not sure if it was ever official in
DECnet/E, but the machinery is there in the latest versions of the
kernel.)

  Umm, hang on...RSTS on a Pro-380?   I didn't think RSTS had drivers for
the MFM controller in there, and I'm pretty sure the console I/O is very
different as well.   Please tell me more.
