1. DECnet/E only supports the "old"
network terminal protocol, which
is object 21. The other one is "CTERM" which is implemented by VMS
and one or two other operating systems, but not DECnet/E. In fact,
I think none of the PDP11s do it; it's way too complex.
RSX definitely implements CTERM.
I think it's object 23.
2. DECnet/E works fine on E11. It's been a
while since I've tried
that but I did use it, under Linux that is. I was using
the "tap" pseudo-ethernet to debug DECnet/Linux against DECnet/E...
FWIW, there's an implementation of the "old" network terminal protocol
in the DECnet/Linux kit; with some hacking you can probably port that
and use it to talk to DECnet/E that way.
The DECnet/Linux implementation is so bad that I'd say it's unusable.
(Atleast when I tested to/from an RSX system.)
