Someone posted the source of that recently (a year ago or so, perhaps). I don't remember ever seeing a protocol spec for the PMR protocol. Since I have the RSTS source code (it's a program PMR.BAS, in Basic-PLUS) I can reverse engineer such a spec, that's on my "soon" list. I don't remember if PMR was included with the DECnet kit. It's a pretty small and simple program.

The only specification I saw was a 2 page email from someone on STAR:: I think. Both RSX and Ultrix provided an (unsupported?) library routine to connect directly or via PMR depending on the supplied connection string. I don’t remember either system including an actual executable for PMR.
