Speaking of Multinet and DECnet-over-IP. I just got this crazy idea to 
implement DECnet-over-IP tunneling in RSX, and it would be fun to be 
compatible.
Have anyone analyzed, or read any documentation on how the tunneling is 
done? TCP or UDP? Any additional headers or data in the stream in 
addition to the encapsulated DECnet packets?

IIRC, you can find a daemon to interface with Multinet tunnels into the
Linux DECnet tools package. That should be a good starting point where to
discover what would be needed to write a new RSX interface, at least in
terms of packet structures and such. :)
