I thought IAS and -11D made it to phase III, but I can't find any 
evidence either way now that I'm looking.

I have DECNET-8. It's not for OS/8 but for RTS-8. But yes, it is phase 
II. I have never tried it, though. So I don't know how/if it actually 
works, and I don't have any phase II or phase III nodes to test against.
