Will it be a problem that all of these systems are DECnet-OSI? 

Clustering does not depend on DECnet or TCP/IP!

Really?   I thought clustering over ethernet used DECnet.

  Nope...SCS, which is Systems Communications Services if memory serves.
(is that right, Brian?)   Completely unrelated to DECnet.

  Brian (Hechinger) and I once discussed the possibility of implementing
a similar clustering system within NetBSD.   I think just implementing
the SCS protocol itself would be a good start.   I wonder if there's
enough documentation out there to do it.
