  For me, it was no more complex than installing the OS, installing the
DECnet packages, and putting my addresses in /etc/decnet.conf.
Everything just worked, and continues to work...there hasn't been any
need to fiddle with anything.

  Now it occurs to me that I cannot easily recreate this installation,
because I didn't keep a copy of the .deb files for the DECnet packages,
I just apt-get installed them, years ago.  I should probably go try to
find those packages.
