Linux has a set of decnet tools that work perfectly for this kind of thing, if you have
ethernet (libdnet and dnet-progs for debian type distributions). You can also use serial
within simh and bring up a DDCMP connection from another host with some software both on
windows and linux, and then copy between the systems that way, but its quite alot of
trouble. If you don't have ethernet, its probably the easiest means.

Hi Guys,
I used to mess about with RSTS/E when I was a kid, and even managed to
get into trouble with ASU and the folks that worked at the remote
sites... banned, basically.
(I went on to work there years later after the PDP11s had been scrapped...)
Anyhow, I've been running one I built from tape with simh for ages...
it's accessible on line via my bbs (telnet bbs.cortex-media.info)
I've got an old, incomplete version of dungeon on there. I've found a
more complete version in Fortran. What is the best way to get the
files onto the emulated disk so I can build it?
Would it be better to install decnet or use kermit or what?
thanks,
John
