That sounds like an interesting solution. I've never routed/bridged
DECnet in that way.
Of course another interesting option would be for pyDECnet to
implement DDCMP, and let some random RPi or virtual machine bridge the
KS' DECnet to the rest of the world.

The KMC/DUP speaks "DDCMP" that is not
spoken by a cisco router sync
interface.
You need for example to run the sync line from the 2020 to a LSI-11 with
RSX (as you can get help from Johnny with rsx..) and a sync and
Ethernet
interface in the 11. (Or any PDP11/VAX with a sync interface.)
(I'm an old hand at RSX)
So we could use a PDP-11 with a KMC11 to bridge DECnet over DDCMP
to Ethernet?
