At one time DECnet was the routing protocal for other

There used to be various DEC and 3rd party boxes that acted as
DECnet-to-SNA gateways.
So far as the DEC ones are concerned, the low-end SNA/Gateway
variant ran (IIRC) on the old Microserver. One of the higher
end ones ran on a stripped down MicroVAX 3000 series with
special channel-attach hardware.
I guess these days the average mainframe just does IP!
