RSTS/E DECNET installation guides / pointers / tips?

I believe we also have a complete set of RSTS/E V9 doc's minus the Admin manual. If I remember correctly, this set of manuals came from the same place Tim got most of the RSTS/E tapes from, he got the tapes and I got the manuals. A few years ago when I had time to mess with this I was able to get the following working under E11: RT-11 5.4 with TCP/IP RSX-11M 4.2 with DECnet RSX-11M+ 4.6 with DECnet RSX-11M+ 4.6 with TCP/IP But try as I could, I couldn't get DECnet/E to install under RSTS/E 9.6 or 10.1. SIMH has matured a lot since then, at that time it was just getting networking support, and the best I could do was to get RT-11 with TCP/IP to partially work. It took me a year or two to even get DECnet/E working on my PDP-11/73 under RSTS/E 10.1, the trick finally turned out to be I *HAD* to install from a TK50, it seems to be the one thing that can't be installed from a 4mm DAT tape. Then I had serious problems with a flakey 10/100 switch on my network. DECnet/E is very temperamental. Since then on one or two *COLD* days I've had my /73 running RSTS/E on HECnet. Zane -- | Zane H.
