Did you do a netgen after building RSX?

Yes.

I used the NETKIT/DECKIT version 3
(http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/DEC/pdp11/magtapes/rsx11mplus/BB-M448C-BC_DECNET11M+_3.0_NETKIT.tap
and
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/DEC/pdp11/magtapes/rsx11mplus/BB-AS96B-BC_DECNET11M+_3.0_DECKIT.tap
on 4.6)

Oh. That is *old*. No surprise if you got some version mismatch error then.

Also, I hope you are not using the lat programs that someone wrote
under Unix, since they are breaking the protocols in some way. I have
never bothered to find out exactly how, but they do not play nicely
with RSX. A real DECserver works fine, though.


Nope.   Used a DECserver 200/MC with a 320 hanging off it.   Logged in
fine, got directory listing, created a file, logged out...then it crashed.

Probably version related as well.

Oh well. I thought there was some newer DECnet version available on bitsavers. Maybe not, then...
