I tested out the DECnet RT on my PDT11/150 when I worked for DEC.
It was just 2400 baud serial link DECnet into the office Vax and Easynet
since I had no sync modem at home to connect with.  Worked fairly well 
although
I think Kermit was faster at bulk file transfers.

Set host from the RT11 to the VAX was fun.
