Success against anything except VMS > is dicey at best (unfortunately). Wish I had heard that before we got rid of our RSX-11M-Plus system! It's true our experience with DECnet/Linux is from VMS. For the last decades we used the RSX system entirely from VMS using DECnet's Task-to-Task feature to access custom UNIBUS hardware on a PDP-11/73 with a QNIVERTER. Do you know if a SIMH RSX system would be able duplicate the errors you are talking about? Do you have any clue whether the problems are in the Linux device driver or the applications? I know there are some configuration hoops one has to jump through that seem to change with every new Linux kernel. I did some hacking there to get it working. But, I never had to hack the applications. That being said, the only one we care about is DAP. Feel free to drop me a note off-list if you think it is worth pursuing.
