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.

Well, tried it:

(...)
Number of KMC/DUP Lines (0,0-2) : 1
Type of line for KDP0 (ANF10,DECNET,USER,IBM) : decnet
Number of PTYs (20,1-476) : 

Network software (YES,NO) : yes
Node name : bitxr4
Number of remote TTYs (456,0-456) : 

ANF-10 software (YES,NO) : no

DECnet software (YES,NO) : yes
  Node name (BITXR4) : 
  Area number of central site (1,1-63) : 7
  Node number of central site (1,1-1023) : 904
  Router type (ROUTING,NONROUTING) : routing
  Transmit password (DECNET20) : 
  Remote terminals (YES,NO) : 
(...)

At link time I get some undefined symbols:

My gess was the distributed TOPS10.REL does not contain all the required modules, so it should be rebuilt somehow. The "A" appendix in the software installation manual is supposed to explain that, but it has not been of much help...
