There are only two I'm aware of.
Multinet giving you DECnet-over-IP, and DECnet phase V, which also can
transport DECnet over IP.

believe there?s a port for AXP but I didn?t know about one for VAX.
Available or not, I do not think it can route the machines own traffic.
? And I saw Rob mentioned his user mode DECnet
router.? Same questions
? what environment does that require?? ?And I saw mention it being both
Multinet and simh DDCMp compatible ? will it talk to a simh
KS10/TOPS10/DMR ?
Same problem about not being able to hook into the local machine traffic.
