My guess would be that you have not enabled proxy on your RSX system, 
but have on VMS.
Since RSX do not have a default DECnet account like VMS do, I instead 
have a general proxy setup where anyone unknown will be proxyed as 
guest, but it does require that the connection request to MIM have 
outgoing proxy enabled.
