There is a TCP/IP stack available for RT-11, although I've never tried
it. It apparently works with both DEQNA and DELQA cards, and I suspect
you've got one or the other in your 11/23.

It is possible, but also very painful, to view websites using the telnet
client "GET / HTTP/1.1" followed by two returns should give you a page.
I think it's more fun to do the opposite. My PDP-11/73 (in a 11/23+
chassis) is accessible via the web, when it's powered up.

So there's plenty of room to have fun :)

All ?
Over the last few months, I?ve built myself a nice little PDP-11/23 with a SCSI
interface/drive, extra SLUs and Ethernet. With the help of a few people, I was able to get
an Ethernet configuration running, which is kind of cool. It?s been a great learning
process getting this up and running. It?s a Q18 system, so memory is limited and I don?t
think able to run BSD (I?m running RT-11 right now).
So, for playing around, what can I practically do with this? Is it even possible to
access any Web sites (unconventional browsing for sure; I?ve read about telnetting to port
80)? I?m sure email is possible, as is FTP/Telnet (I?ve used that inside my lab setup),
but I don?t really know where to start with that.
If anyone has any pointers/suggestions, I?d appreciate it.
Thanks!
Rich
