I called DEC on this one.  If you have a connector at this port, you
have an Ethernet interface.  Unfortunately, that connector requires an
outboard Ethernet transceiver (about $300) to actually attach to a
network, and you need software.  DEC put out DECnet for P/OS, and I'm
sure there's a DECnet version for RT-11.  Does anyone know if there's
a (near)free implementation of TCP/IP around for P/OS?  Or a UNIX for
this beast, hopefully including TCP/IP?  For that matter, how does one
come by RT-11 for the Pro350?
