So this means that if you had DECnet machines on your local network at

DECnet and a VMS host is not needed? Excellent!
That's exactly what it means. It might even be possible to connect two Linux multinet
boxes to each other but I haven't tried it!
One thing that doesn't seem to work is routing on big-endian Linux boxes (eg my
sparc!). But it's fine on a 'normal' system

Subject: [HECnet] Multinet on Linux
I've got multinet working on Linux, for those that are interested.
Sourceforge appears to be sulking at the moment so I've uploaded the
latest dnprogs sources to
http://chrissie.fedorapeople.org/dnprogs-2.44.tar.gz
and to Debian.
Instructions for setting it up are here:

Have fun, and let me know how you get on.
