Urr?   You did a CLEAN install on a blank destination disk?   From
the tape image that I gave you?   I just did it that way..

   Well it wasn't blank, but I did choose "erase", so maybe that was my
mistake. Regardless, I know what to do next time I need to install
RSTS/E   just need to fix the DECnet issues.

Hmm.   Ok.   That's still a bit fishy, but at least we know why you
couldn't run a sysgen.

What's up with your DECnet installation, again?

It's connected to the network, yet it can't reach any other nodes. Adjacency notices between nodes are seen, but they cannot communicate. 

Alpha to RSTS/E resulted in

And VAX to RSTS/E just results in a timeout. Attempting to dir from an Alpha results in the request being seen on RSTS/E, but it fails.

RSTS/E to Alpha results in 

$ set host 33.302
Connection Established to VAX/VMS Node 33.302

?Unsupported Virtual Terminal Protocol.

Control returned to node MINDY

So, I don't know what I misconfigured.
