I am the computer person at a recently formed research institute 
affiliated with Harvard University.
I have an old PDP-11 running RSX operating system. I was wondering
if anyone knew  how I could hook it up to the networks. I would 
 like to implement something like UUCP, by which my PDP would call
up a mainframe and download any messages once a day. Anyway, what
I specifically need to know is 1)if there are any DEC and RSX programs designed
to interface with networks 2)who one contacts to talk about being assigned a
network node (other than the mainframe people at my local university) and 3) if
I can't hook up the PDP without switching it from RSX to Unix, whether a
microcomputer system running UNIX would work as well.
