Cool. Thanks.
TOPS-20 FAL looks semi-sane, and I can talk with it.
Tops-10 FAL looks really weird, but at least some kind of communication is possible.
RSTS/E FAL is not agreeing with RSX, it would seem. :-(

Well, I can get at least a little bit of communication. I can get a DIRECTORY and I can type a remote file, forcing the mode to ASCII (/AS).

Since RSTS native files are not RMS files, and login.com most likely is such a file, chances are it   s coming across as a file of undefined record format.   Either that, or stream-crlf.   You may want to look at a protocol trace to see what it   s doing.   That could explain the    unsupported record format    message.

RSTS can certainly talk to other NFTs, but you have to tell it how to map native files to some RMS format, if you   re pulling from RSTS.
