Great pointer. That's a copy of stuff rescued from Decwrl after
Compaq took over.
I'd almost forgotten all the time spent in Runoff.
I'd used to say that I produced the last implementation of DECnet
Phase IV in PathWORKS for Windows 95.
But these guys doing the Linux DECnet have taken that away from me.

If you're interested in learning how DECnet works, that
implementation is freely accessible.
PS: There is a Debian MOP daemon here
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/mopd
I seem to remember that there was a group of people bridging their
DECnet over TCP to connect various sites over the Internet. I can't
seem to find them this minute.
Dave.
I still have copies of all the Phase IV era DNA
specs.
I don't suppose you have softcopies? Or that someone else has them
available for fetch?
I'd like to have a stab at implementing DECnet. (Not because I have
any production use for it; just as part of my drive to understand
everything - nothing teaches a protocol like implementing it.)
