Johnny,
Yeah. I found installation guides and tapes on BITSAVERS archive. I was now
able install RSX-11M Plus v4.6 system from two BB-J0830-01 distribution tapes.
Also I found some mail archives from SIMH mailing list by searching.
Ecellent!
Also, I tried to download BQTCP.TAP but it did not work. I was told 'not
allowed'. I was able download BQTCP.DSK without any problem. How do I install
BQTCP?
The tape file is a RSX virtual device file. You cannot get it unless you
are running BQTCP FTP, so that it can be transferred in native mode.
These files are a bit peculiar in their format, and FTP in general do
not have the ability to transport such files. So if you try in non-RSX
mode, you'll just get an error trying.
As for installation, there is a document along with the distribution,
but in short, just run @[IP]IPGEN on the device where you have the
distribution, and answer the questions. Should not be too complicated,
but I am aware that the installation is a bit primitive with some rough
edges. I'm always happy receive any feedback, which can help me improve
both documentation and installation.
I will figure out how to install DECnet11 for RSX11M+ 4.6.
You probably want DECnet as well, yes, although BQTCP can run with the
XE: device driver as well, if you have a Unibus system.

Thanks again,

The obvious first question is - what is your distribution media?
Feel free to ask anything RSX related. I think I can answer most of it. :-)
