I used DECnet/DOS for many years both at home and at work. It worked well.
There's also a DECnet implementation for IRIX, which I ran at work long ago. It was
called 4DDN.

There was a company called Technology Concepts in Sudbury MA, which was founded by Stu
Wecker the original architect of DDCMP. They provided a core implementation of DECnet for
Unix systems (I know they had an implementation for early Sun systems).

I think
DECnet/8 is for RTS-8, but there never was one for OS-8.
Yes, the DECnet-8 was for RTS although you could run OS/8 as a task under
RTS (so maybe those two count as the same). In any case AFAIK there was
never any NFT or FAL or remote terminal or NCP/NML or anything else like
that implemented for DECnet/8. It was more of a toolkit kind of thing where
you could write your own RTS program to make a DECnet connection to another
node. What you sent over that connection was your problem.
Never heard of DECnet for CP/M although there certainly was one for MSDOS. --
