[HECnet] DECnet-RT?

[Johnny Billquist]

I have never seen it either, but I would say it has to be at least phase 
III, since the latest DECnet release for RSX do have notes about 
compatibility with DECnet-RT. And RSX is phase IV, and that phase IV 
implementation does not talk at all to phase II nodes.

I’ve heard rumors of a couple people that might have it, but nothing has ever turned up.  I also wonder if it will work on RT-11 V5.7.
