With a PDP-11/23 and full boat ram (18bit) you can run more than RT-11
and something like V6 unix or maybe
RSX might be a better choice for anything networking.  An OS that
supports swapping and maybe virtual memory
would help even at the expense of speed.  Networking does require some
level of multitasking as well so RT-11/FB
is likely more useful than vanilla RT.
