Since I've got a nice Pro380 with a few options,
such as the
decna adapter, what would be the most flexible setup for this
machine? I'd really like to work with this machine but am not too
impressed with POS.

You've got a DECNA for it? Wow! Lucky bum!
I'd say your best choice for an OS would be RT-11 with the free TCP/IP
stack. In fact I think that's about the only way you'll be able to use the
DECNA interface.

You've got a DECNA for it? Wow! Lucky bum!
Nice machine, thanks to Tim Shoppa! It includes an RX50,
RD-52A, the DECNA, TMS, the 4-port serial board and a VR201. It's
housed in the floor standing tower case.

The DECNA isn't too useful outside of a DECnet then? Does
RT-11 support the RD-52? I know that the docs for Venix state that
there's a problem with using Venix and the RD-52 together. How hard
is it to get the RX-50 disks of RT-11 and to straighten out all the
licensing issues?
Thanks
Jeff

I don't know if the BSD 2.9 for the Pro supports
it.
Check out The Unix Heritage Society... I know there's a 2.9
BSD for Pro 350's.
Pro380's should be even better.
When I found references to 2.9BSD on the 350 a few months ago
there was no mention of it working on the 380.
