> What DEC OS's support DecNet?  Pretty much all of them, although some better than others.  VMS, RSX,TOPS-10, TOPS-20, RSTS/E all had DECnet, and even RT-11 had some limitedsupport.  There was an experimental DECnet for OS/8 (really for RTS/8) but Idon't think it was ever finished.>Will BSD support DecNet?  BSD is not a DEC OS.  Sorry :-)  Ultrix-32 had DECnet, but I don't know ifUltrix-11 ever did.  Maybe somebody else knows?  Linux even has DECnet, but of course that won't run on your -11.  You can always get a VAX or Alpha workstation - many of them are prettycheap these days.
---------------------------
I have too many systems here as it is.  I don't plan on adding
any more.  :)  I have a Linux box, but I would prefer to run something
like this on a real 11.  Any options for software I can legally use?
