Interesting. I have VENIX on a Professional 350 (it was one of the
machines I had on display for VCF East). I haven't tried fiddling
with VENIX on a Rainbow, though I did know it existed.
Venix/PRO on a 380 here. I like it. Thinking about ways to make it
primitively networked.
There is a DECNA, if you can find one. It should work for 2.9BSD or
2.11BSD so it wouldn't be that hard to adapt to Venix, I'd wager.
Outside of that, SLIP/PPP? UUCP?

I'm really glad to see this discussion; I have a PDP-11/23+ waiting to be
poked at, but didn't know about the Professional at all; it's interesting
to see that Venix can run on the /23+ as well.
Whether it's a good choice of OS (compared to, say, 2.9BSD) or not I don't
know.
