That should work.  I'm not sure where the "real Ethernet" comes in.  To talk to a router like a Cisco box?  Ok, or alternatively you can use the GRE support in PyDECnet directly.

Phase IV in RSTS is nearly identical to Phase III.  The main difference of course is area addresses and Ethernet support.  If you have Phase III manuals, you should be able to figure it out I would think.  If you run into issues please post a question, several of us can quickly answer.
