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). If you were getting an "Insufficient network resouces" error that was my fault (I forgot to increase the quotas for the GUEST user).

The reverse route (RSX -> RSTS) seems also to work:

There apparently was, but it seems few ever have seen it. (Guess it falls under the same category as DECnet/8. It apparently did exist at one point, but noone seems to actually have run it. Well, I actually have DECNET-8 sources, but it's only DECnet phase II, and in addition it requires RTS-8.)

I recall to have read somewhere that there was a Phase III implementation for RT-11.
