Well, since you asked. :)
Cable modem plugged into Cisco 1841 router.
Cisco 1841 router plugged into Cisco 3560g switch. (VLAN trunked)
VLAN trunks extend into VMware environment where I run a pair of OpenBSD+pf boxes for redundant firewalls, so logically it's 1841 <-> firewalls <-> switch.
Cisco 1811w plugged into 3560g for wifi access.
Other than that it's all hosts plugged into the 3560g or connected via wifi.
Oh, and OSPF keeps everything sane.

To answer my own question, I found a reference at Cisco for something they call OLD-CISCO-DECNET-MIB
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v1/OLD-CISCO-DECNET-MIB.my
Maybe that's the SNMP answer?

It is also dependant on the class of router. The SOHO 800 series routers (like what I use) won't do DECnet.

My Cisco is runnning 12.2(40). According to the documentation, anything newer than 9.1 (ANCIENT) supports it.
I've got an 1841 running 12.4(25f).
It is also reported to also still work in 15.

Hmmm,
Just had a thought. There's a Cisco emulator out there (GNS3 is the GUI, but there's command-line stuff that's lower footprint) that emulates Cisco very well - a 7200-series router is supported. All it needs is a ROM image. I wonder if emulation would be powerful enough to pass Decnet traffic? Cisco Decnet routing without a physical Cisco?

My area router is A42RTR 42.1023. It is adjacent to SUN 52.1 and GW 61.1. Unfortunately for your scanning program, 42.1023 is a Cisco router.

Hang tight.
Let me know if I can offer any help. I can give you access to my router if required.
I just tried an snmpwalk looking for anything slightly DEC-related and I can't find any data that looks like decnet addresses or anything.
SNMP would also require public IP connectivity, which isn't strictly required for decnet to work. For example, my Cisco is using a 192.168 address, and I forward GRE packets (for the tunnels) from my firewall.

Perhaps an agreed-upon entry in INFO.TXT ? That's still manually managed, but it's managed by the individual link owners.
INFO.TXT where? I won't be able to fetch it from the cisco. :)
The "SHOW DECNET NEIGHBOR" and "SHOW DECNET ROUTE" commands are both non-priviledged. Perhaps we could allow a 'trusted' network mapping daemon the ability to get a remote console on the Cisco and execute and parse these commands?
My plan is to try and get the info via SNMP or the alternative was a non-privledged account doing, well, pretty much that right there. :)
I have a bit more work to do until I'm ready to tackle the cisco issue though.

ps: I've used my freakin' brain (hey, it's been known to happen!) and separated the data collection from the data processing in my code. Now I don't have to wait 15 minutes for it to walk the network every time i change something. The data collection code is pretty solid at this point and it's the processing code that's getting the workout currently. This will speed up development TREMENDOUSLY.

Okay good. Actually Ian I expected that. That was aimed at Dave, who's
sitting in the middle of a snowman storm of problems.
