Ok, 5 lines. :)

first you need to enable DECnet routing:

decnet routing X.Y (where X.Y is the DECnet address you want to give it)
decnet node-type area

Then you need to add this to the interface that talks to your DECnet LAN
segment:

decnet cost 10

Then you need to allow my config tool to talk to your router:

access-list 10 permit 37.59.44.141
snmp-server community <community name> RW 10

Then you just need to get me all that info I asked for and we should be
good.

The machine running the config tool is down right now so I'm in no
hurry. :)

  I have no idea how to set up GRE, but I believe the
DECbrouter I have can
 do it, does anyone have any pointers on how to set it up? I will also want
 to add GRE to my user mode router when I get chance, but for DEC Legacy
 using the brouter might be nice. Once I can get it (the brouter) working
 let me know how to update your db with the IP address. Question though,
 does the IP address change have to be made manually or could it be
 automatic?

 Thanks
