So maybe you just need to find the right monitor and user-mode utilities. :)

I forgot to say that the Ethernet is the NIA20 thing. Moreover, thanks to
Marc Chametzky, we now do know that the configuration is not built into the
monitor like in TOPS-10 but it's read from a configuration file which
apparently contains everything you'd need to run DECnet-20... :)

Apologies for this self-answer.

HTH again,
