I'm not sure what a DOS device is.
A couple of options:
1. DECnet. NFT will use the DAP protocol to do file transfer; if you have a
compatible DAP implementation at the other end that would work. DECnet/Linux
can do this, I believe.
2. Paper tape, as discussed here.
3. Magtape. DOS format labels are very simple; ANSI isn't much harder. For
extra credit, someone could write an implementation of VMS BACKUP -- RSTS can
read those tapes (with some restrictions) in V9.0 or later.
4. Disk. Years ago I wrote a program "rstsflx" that can read and write RSTS
disk images. It should still be around; if not I should build some new kits
and supply them to whoever can offer a place for them.
