Where can I find the 4.4 package? I have one, but I don't think it's
4.4.

DECnet for Ultrix was not distributed as sources, or
distributed at all,
other than as a product to be installed on Ultrix, which came as binaries.
Yes, of course.
But as far as 3rd party stuff goes, Ultrix is special
enough that most
software you'll find online don't cleanly build, unless it specifically
have provisions for Ultrix.
But almost everything back then did. :) I built hundreds of packages
under Ultrix when it was my primary platform both at home and at work,
for many years. I rarely had issues. As with anything else, though,
there were "problem areas"...resolver, etc as you mentioned. (same issue
with SunOS..) It's really quite easy to get common stuff running under
Ultrix.
There's
a DECnet for Ultrix, which I've just started looking at. I
don't know if it will run under 4.5. Does anyone know offhand?
I think at least the verison for 4.4 works just fine on 4.5 as well. 4.0
I don't know...
