I think DECnet
for the PDP-8 requires RTS-8 too.
I believe that is the case, but until this year, I hadn't ever run
across more then mere mention of DECnet-8. Only recently, I have
at least found (on bitsavers or one of the other major repositories)
some docs on it. I looked for it 22 years ago, but was unable to
trace it down then.
I don't believe it does much more than simple message and file
passing, and I don't think it's compatible with DECnet on any
other platform, but it _is_ vendor-supplied basic networking
for an otherwise ignored architecture.
