FWIW, I do this regularly at the museum with several DECserver-300s and a Linux VM,
running Ubuntu 12.10 running the standard-for-then DECnet stack. Works great. I use LAT
on it more than anything else, though. Just a data point.

Hello!
I can well imagine that. Hence my comment. I've got an ongoing
idea/issue/problem with trying to get a DEC Terminal Server Model 90L
family member to communicate with a running example of Linux and the
DEC Networking stuff. Shortly after buying an Ethernet hub, who had an
AUI port in front and a COAX one in back, and regular RJ45 style ones
also on the back, at VCF East, I did make an effort. I'll probably try
again both on that Dell I mentioned and eventually via the Pi and an
appropriate kernel..
I certainly don't think we are chasing frustrated zebras here, but for
me it sometimes seems like it.
