as far as DecNet goes, am I correct in assuming that it's mostly useful for
connecting clusters? I'm learning VMS almost entirely on my own, never having
been exposed to it during its heyday.
DECNET predates VMS.
Indeed, by several generations.
...
DECNET is available under RSX-11M and RSTS/E on PDP-11s, Tops-10 and TOPS-20
on PDP-10s, and under VMS (and possibly Ultrix, I don't remember for certain)
on VAXen, and on VMS follow-on systems. It is as far as possible agnostic
about what kind of system it was running on or connecting to.
DECnet/Ultrix, yes. There is also a limited DECnet for RT-11, and for DOS.
And VAXELAN. And possibly IAS, I don't remember that one for sure.
I believe there was also DECnet for SunOS, and I know there was DECnet
for Symbolics Lisp machines. And people have implemented DECnet for
Linux, and I'm sure there are other examples out there as well...
