Dwight asks: Decnet has some support in some 80's and early 90's era Cisco products... but it was comparatively poor and incomplete compared to what the competition (especially 3Com) was doing. In my opinion (entirely subjective, no real proof), Cisco support for DECNET and related DEC protocols (e.g. LAT) was purposefully made incomplete or done poorly, so that you'd struggle against it a lot with the glimmer of hope that you might figure it out, but you always feel defeated and sore in the end. 3Com's LAT and DECNET terminal servers were really kick-ass, way better than the overpriced DEC equivalent. LAT really is a pretty spiffy protocol for terminal servers. In the end DECNET Phase V (OSI compatibility) was what killed DECNET. Man, what a mess. I feel sorry for the DEC programmers who labored for what must've been man-millenia putting in every possible OSI bell and whistle when in the end nobody ever wanted any of those bells and whistles!
