******************************************************************
editor's notes: This software was given to the NETWORKS SIG at
the Spring 1981 DECUS meeting. The new pages for RMDEMO work even
if you DO NOT HAVE DECNET.
******************************************************************
The following programs were submitted by the Digital Equipment
People as Network software for RSX-11M

1) New page displays for rsx-11m rmdemo display to display
a) active task list
*************************************************************
editor's note: The active task list page looks like it might
show the names of the files that a particular task has open.
It could be a very valuable debugging tool.
*************************************************************
b) remote node display (maps)
c) logical link display
d) help page

2) Vms compatible network mail for rsx-11m

3) Remote command terminal from rsx-11m to
a) tops-20
b) rsts
c) vms

4) Poor mans node route through, allows phase II DECNET messages to
route throught a phase III node or thur another phase II node.

5) Remote virtual devices using DECNET
***********************************************************
editor's note: This allows an RSX-11M system to run without
a disk (what about boot physically attached to the CPU.
The RSX-11M system uses the "virtual disk device"
via DECNET to connect to a physical disk on a host system.
Currently the host system is another RSX-11M system. Maybe
someone could work out the software to make the host system
a VAX/VMS system.

a) Virtual Disk
*************************************************************
editor's note: this virtual disk is something quite different
than the Virtual disk invented by Ralph Stamerjohn. An
implementation of Ralph's virtual disk appears on this tape
in uic [313,*].

b) Virtual Magtape
c) Virtual Line Printer
