Was that Stu Wecker's company, or is that a different one? They sold
DECnet implementations for various machines.
TSSnet was by Thursby Software Systems, William (Bill) Thursby. They
are still very much in business (
thursby.com) but TSSnet was retired
long ago. I don't know its current status.
Contrary to what's often written, DECnet always was
an open protocol,
which everyone was free to implement.
Very true.
