That is for M+... I think he is asking for M (no plus)

Oops, I actually meant M+. I started with that exact baseline image and I had no idea it already had DECnet on it.

But I WAS trying to setup non-plus RSX-11M earlier, so I may go back to trying that as well.

With RSX11M you will have lots of fun fiddling with the partitions :). RSX11M+ is way too easy ;)

Now, back to RSTS/E discussion.

So I thought i'd try out Ersatz-11 instead of simh. I've gotten RSTS/E + DECnet installed alright, and it attaches to the interface fine and it seems to work better. But every time I try to SET HOST I get some variation of:

Event type 5.15, Receive failed
Occurred 22-Oct-25 13:36:28.1 on node 33.306 (GEWT1)
Line UNA-0
Failure reason =Unrecognized frame destination
Ethernet header = AA0004003285 3C075443A176 0800

and

Event type 0.0, Event records lost
Occurred 22-Oct-25 13:39:13.0 on node 33.306 (GEWT1)

Any ideas?

Looks like you have a remote node that has not set the MAC address correctly.
AA-00-04-00-32-85 corresponds to 33.306. And that is the destination of the ethernet packet that you received. So far, so good. However, the source address in those packets are 3C-07-54-43-A1-76, which is not a DECnet address. So check the "other" machine that you are trying to talk to.
