I'm an IP guy, hands down. DECnet I actually have very little experience
using aside from just being a consumer of current services. 

What I would like to know is how I create a program that, in IP nuances,
"listens on a port" for a client to connect. 

Specifically VMS in this case. 

Paul explained a little bit how it functions, but he wasn't sure how
that was done on VMS either. 

Anyone have any good pointers?

Sourced in Bliss so it's readable!   SEND has code for both client and server
DECnet object creation and communication.
