No reason why we couldn't do DECnet as well. As I alluded to in a previous
e-mail, there are other network protocols that we should try to preserve,
just like we are trying to preserve the hardware.

I understand that there's a reasonable DECnet implementation for Linux as
well as real implementations for lots of DEC machines :-) There's also
third party DECnet stuff from Xi? we used to run DECnet on a couple of our
AIX boxes to maintain connectivity to the _real_ systems running VMS (this
well before I "went with the flow" and put TCP/IP on the VAXen).
