I've *finally* gotten the network problems I've been fighting at home resolved. It looks as if my Intel 10/100 24-port Switch has decided that it no longer wants anything to do with 10Mbit <sigh>. Anyhow, I've moved my home network back to my old 8-port 10/100 hub and a 8-port 10Mbit hub, and everything is happy (thankfully the 24-port is serious overkill at the moment).
As a result I now have managed to get the VT420 on the DECserver 90L+ to reliably talk to my DEC PWS 433au, and my Ethertalk-to-Localtalk converter is working again so my VMS server and Mac can once again print. Life is good.
Now that things are straightened back out, it's time to get back to something fun, namely getting my RSTS/E system talking on my network :^)
During the network issues I managed to get DECnet/E installed on my PDP-11/73, and had managed to do a directory listing (unreliably though) of the RSTS/E system. I'm now able to reliably list directories on the RSTS/E system. More importantly I have LAT working, so I can log in from my DECserver!!!!
What isn't working is the following:
Getting a directory of the VMS system from RSTS/E
Copying files between the two systems
Logging in from one system to the other
Has anyone tried getting a system running DECnet/E (Phase IV) to talk to a system running DECnet-Plus?
