It was your initial work that inspired Tim's complete KDP work (OS DDCMP 
implementation) and the full fledged DDCMP in the DMC/DMR devices on the 
Unibus PDP and VAX simulators.  To the extent that either of these devices had
OS support in TOPS10/20 they will work fine with whatever version of DECnet
that used them.
