[HECnet] DECnet-10 doesn't work past Nov 9 2021?

[Paul Koning]

That doesn't fully answer the question.  What you see is the system log, which presumably uses VMS time stamps.  Those have a wide range.  The question is what the DECnet events would show, when encoded in the NICE protocol.  If you configure it to send events (like node reachable or circuit up) to another node, what do the timestamps look like on that other node?
