Recently I have found, and fixed, a number of bugs in the DECnet for Linux kernel module.
Some of
these bugs may be relevant for members of this mailing list who are using DECnet for

especially on a Raspberry Pi.
I've spent a bit of time with John's latest
code to see how it works on other platforms.
The answer is "quite nicely". I dropped his changed files into a Fedora Core
32 (the latest release, as of a couple of weeks ago anyway) sources, and built their
5.8.17 kernel with DECnet enabled, for 64-bit x86.
It works, no major problems seen. This is the endnode; I haven't tried a router
yet.
Very nice.
I had serious problems using it to talk to RSX in the past (many years ago). Have you
tried accessing in both directions between an RSX node and that? It might be it has been
improved a lot since I tried, but I am a little concerned that it's mostly just been
tested against VMS.
I did DAP access to MIM ("dndir"), that worked. Didn't try a whole lot else
yet. But I ran a bunch of operations against RSTS.
