Phase III is useful because Phase II nodes (and TOPS-20 on the KS is one) can talk to it. DECnet provided compatibility, but only between adjacent Phases...
So with a Phase III node, one can have T20 -> PIII -> PIV -> PV -> anything. But even just Phase III gets around the 2-sync line limitation of the -20.Either VMS or RSX would work for Rob's purposes. (I have the same requirement, but haven't tracked down an old VMS kit. )
So would TOPS-10 V7.02 - which I should have, but it's not on a disk I've restored as yet. Too many projects, not enough hours.

I believe my best chance might be an RSX system, I have generated an RSX system once before but struggled a bit, so if anyone has something ready made it would be a big help. Thanks RobIf you have the license kit for 3.x, I could get Phase III going on VMS pretty quickly.Wouldn't phase III imply a system way before anything like a license manager facility existed? As for RSX, I doubt people in general would have kept such systems around just for the fun of it. Phase III is pretty old and long ago.
