It would be a fun exercise to turn the bridge into an actual DECnet router.
One day, when I have a lot of time I might even think about trying that.

Feel free. The specifications are out there, so it's definitely not an impossible task. But I guess it will take some work. It would be very nice if the bridge did turn into a WAN router...

DECnet Phase IV is pretty straightforward.   The specs are all out there.   And much of it is implemented in Linux, so you can find C sources ready to go...   Even if sample code only does L1 routing, you're nearly there because area routing is essentially the same thing done a second time on a second set of tables.
