The first DECserver to provide TELNET was the DS300, then the DS700,
DS90TL and DS90M. I can't imagine DS300s being expensive these days if
only because of their size. The last DS300 I got was free but YMMV since
I'm in the UK.

You want to connect 'fluffy cloud' internet people to your PDP? At this
time on a friday night^W^W saturday morning I can't think of an easy way
to do this because there isn't a way of advertising a PDP service via
TELNET to the great unwashed though I'm fully prepared to be proved wrong
:) RSX people stand up and be counted! Was this possible on RT11?

>server?  If I could just mount a DECserver box in my PDP-11 chassis that
would be great, but isn't the Ethernet port DECnet-only?

Remember that Digital, Intel and Xerox invented Ethernet back in the 70s,
DIX Ethernet as it was called back then. There's no such thing as a DECnet
only port that I've come across so far.....caveat emptor etc....
