Well, if the goal is connect from DEC hardware running RSX-11 or VMS onto
the Internet of Things without using untrusted hardware, then put a modern

I shall get off your lawn, then. :)
Anyway, a BBB might be fine for a first prototype, but the next logical
step might be to implement something like a PDP-11 running RSX-11 with
DECnet support in an FPGA?
