I've done this with RSX-11M and VAX/VMS without any problem, it's DECnet/E that seems to be the problem. I don't know if I've failed to set something up correctly on the RSTS/E side, or what.

Directory Service: Local name file
Node name: LOCAL:.rstse
Phase IV synonym: RSTSE
Address tower protocol and selector values:
Session: DNA_SessionControlV2 (SC2)
00 13
Transport: DNA_NSP (NSP)
(no selector value)
Routing: DNA_OSInetwork (CLNS)
49::00-3C:AA-00-04-00-97-F2:20 (60.663)
Number of nodes reported on: 1
$ set host rstse
%SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHOBJ, network object is unknown at remote node
$
On the RSTS/E system console, I get the following:
Event type 34.1, Object spawn failure
Occurred 10-Jan-17 17:40:49.5 on node 60.663 (RSTSE)
Reason: Unknown Object identification
Source node = 1.652
Source process = 0 0 0 HEALYZH
Destination Process = 42
There are a couple of odd things about this error, one is that "SHOW DATE" on the RSTS/E system shows 24-JAN-04 05:40 PM, so it looks like DECnet/E has a Y2k problem. The other is that the source node is 60.652, not 1.652 like the error message states.
The Y2k error shouldn't be a problem, as my RSX-11M system works with the wrong date.
On a positive note, I finally got things setup so I can connect to the RSTS/E system via LAT from the VMS system :^)
