I remember that - I was working with VAXen every day when I got my own
Amiga in 1986, but never had the desire to hook it to our DECnet

hardware - all of our DECnet was over DDCMP and sync serial, and
contained in about a 25' radius. It was all local terminals and
SET/HOST to get from one box to another).
