It's basically a toolkit for writing your own applications that talk via DECnet; the only standard applications supplied are TLK and LSN (sort of the PDP-8 equivalent to PHONE).  There's no FAL, NFT or RMT task.  It doesn't seem like there's much you can do with it unless you want to write a bunch of software first.
