Either as an option from DEC or built-in. Which
version?
The earliest availability of DECnet for RSTS/E that I can find is in
V06C. The SPD gives that as optional software. The System
Generation manual provides the details.
Wikipedia says this is 1979 for "DECnet Phase II".
Could be. I don't have a good timeline for DECnet.
V06C was ~July 1978.

I couldn't find the document I was looking for, but I'm pretty sure
the info it contained went into the following doc.
http://www.aracnet.com/~healyzh/PDP-10_11_OS_xref(V2b).pdf
Also I show that RSTS V6B came out in 1977.
At least the following versions of DECnet/E still exist; 2.0, 2.1,
4.0, and 4.1. I've found mention of DECnet/E 4.2, but I don't
believe it was ever released, and V4.1 works on RSTS/E V10.1. IIRC,
DECnet/E V4.1 is "DECnet Phase III".
