I've spent a bit of time with John's latest code to see how it works on other platforms.

The answer is "quite nicely".  I dropped his changed files into a Fedora Core 32 (the latest release, as of a couple of weeks ago anyway) sources, and built their 5.8.17 kernel with DECnet enabled, for 64-bit x86.

It works, no major problems seen.  This is the endnode; I haven't tried a router yet.

Very nice.
