[Linux-decnet-user] PDP-11 file transfers

[Mal M. <mal...@sp...>]

Greetings,

I am currently looking at using a Linux box with DECnet to act as a file =
server for some old PDP-11/RSX11M+ systems (using NFT commands).

After reading the FAQ and browsing this mailing list, I'm not sure what =
the current status is re compatibility with PDP-11 file transfers.  =
Apparently there were (are?) timeout issues when copying files to/from =
the PDP-11 systems.

Can someone please advise if the Linux-DECnet option is feasible for =
this purpose? I've been advised the files are fairly small, around 512K =
(or maybe 512 bytes, I'm not sure). An alternative someone has proposed =
is to use a Windows system with Pathworks32 - would this be more =
reliable?

Thanking you
Mal
