The Software Installation Guide lists a bunch of MONGEN questions related to
DECnet on KS10s, asking for KMC/DUP or DMR hardware characteristics. A quick
Google search seems to confirm that both KMC and DMR are very similar to DMC
and software compatible with it. DMR should be a DMC enhancement/replacement.

The KMC11 is a user programmable microcontroller that's the basis of the DMC11.   But it's not a compatible replacement.   Instead, the KMC was used as a co-processor to drive a "dumb interface" like the DUP11.   So no, if you have a DMC or DMR, you do *not* call for KMC/DUP support in your monitor.
