Is this connectable via hecnet at all?

Does anyone have a link to the script?

Don't know where it might be on HECnet, but it can be found on the VMS
Freeware site:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/openvms/freeware/vttest

I have it running as a service to all via telnet to great-escape.tmesis.com

Beware of the versions of VTTEST out there.   Someone in VMS engineering had
tried to make it DECC compatible and horked it completely.   I believe that
the version I have at the DECUS Library Compendium (DECUSlib.com) Freeware
CD version 4 is the only properly working version.   Don't dowload any try
to use any of the later versions.

Thank you for the above links.   They certainly show that a great
deal of effort has taken place.   However, after many attempts to
obtain code which can be easily executed on a PDP-11, I must
say that I have not found any at all.

I would hope that someone did take the code for VMS and other
systems and produced a version that can run under RT-11 on the
PDP-11.   Does anyone know of such a version and if so, is a link
available as well?

Also helpful would be a version which can run under RSTS/E.   The
RSTS/E operating system handles characters sent to the screen as
commands to the screen is handled quite differently from RT-11.
