I'm very much interested in one of your USB<->DDCMP-async adapters.

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.
Are you talking a real KS or an emulated one?
If a real one, you'd need to connect to a router that implement DDCMP over a
synchronous link. A PDP11 with a DMC11 (DMV if it's Qbus) or RSX system with a DUP
could do the job. With PyDECnet, you can do it if you built yourself one of my DDCMP sync
adapters, which is a small USB device that PyDECnet can talk to and use to speak DDCMP on
a sync link. For that matter, SIMH supports that adapter as well.
