If not there also check John Wilson's site Dbit.com.

Johns site also has stuff for the DMII/III and the mono cable/keyboard/crt
works for both pro and DM!

POS is a like it or hate it OS, but it's light years ahead of NT being
based on the RSX-11 model. If you have POS and decnet... you can either
run DDCMP via serial to a decnet host or if you have the net card DECnet
10b5 phaseIII (maybe phase 4 was out there too).
