Once upon a time there seems to have been a company
called KI Research
at Columbia, Maryland. Circa 1994 they had for sale something called
KINET DNA which apparently was a user-mode DECnet stack available for
numerous Unix flavors and OS/2 (maybe more operating systems). I came
across the name looking for a DECnet implementation for HP-UX.
Here's one of the threads from 1993 (!) that I am looking at:

Does anyone here have pointers to some archive which might have
distributions of KINET?
I tried looking around some time ago, even spending a bunch of time
trawling through archive.org. However, it was to no avail.
I communicated with someone at KI in about 2001-2003, I cannot
remember their name and I would have to fire up another system to go
through my mail from that time (although I can if you would like). I was
trying to get access to the Linux version of their software. They spoke to
me about releasing the source code. I did try to reach them again, but
again to no avail.
