I know several people have asked for it. I have no idea where to find it 
either. Well, actually, maybe I do, but I have not tried...

Correct. It all went to Mentec Inc, and when Mentec folded, it was 
bought by XX2247, who is the current owner. I haven't 
asked/investigated, but it's quite possible that XX2247 do have DECnet 
for RT-11. They certainly have RT-11 itself, I'm sure.

Yes. RSX works just fine with DECnet. Under simh, other emulators, or 
real hardware... And so does TCP/IP.
