And I can't remember for sure, but at the same time, it seems weird if DEC did not do it when you have a cluster with this high speed link between the nodes. They definitely run some other protocols for the cluster operation over CI, but I was basically thinking that I would expect DECnet also to be done.

It seems quite reasonable except for the fact that CI has such a limited range and station count.  It's just that it wasn't specified in any DNA spec.

DECnet-VAX (Phase IV) did support DECnet over CI in a cluster, it's in the manuals.  I never used it on any of the internal VAXclusters I managed though.
