Would that be in the archives?

If I had to assume this is probably related to DMERT and UNIX/RT. I'm unaware of any
surviving code, but I have tossed some manuals up on my
archive.org page for a few
2000's-era releases of the UNIX-RTR Generics for the 5ESS switches of the time.

Unfortunately I haven't secured any code from later UNIX-RTR releases either, just
installation and maintenance curricula with some manuals and such thrown in. There is
some early MERT stuff bumping around the archive but it predates the BellMAC-32/WE32000
and 3B by several years.
