  If you still see no activity, perhaps there is
something that sends
 the RSTS system off to the wrong place (after all, it said that the
 incoming area 60 connection was from area 1). Maybe RSTS does not
 implement the area stuff properly (any chance it might be Phase III?)
 If you can persuade your hub/switch to monitor traffic connected
 to the RSTS box, see if you can do an ethereal trace and decode
 the AA-00-04-00 address the RSTS box sends traffic to. 
Badabing!
I just remembered something. Zane, what version of RSTS/E are you running?
RSTS/E DECnet was phase III until rather recently. That means some
limitations... Phase III only have one area, and can only address node
numbers < 256 on that area.

This could *also* be the problem.
