There are several companies out there who will license their DECnet
implementations.  I can think of three off the top of my head:
Technology Concepts in Sudbury MA, a Bell Atlantic Co,  Ki Research
(somewhere in New Hampshire) and Thursby Something or Other whose
address I don't know.  All three frequently advertise in rags like
Digital Review, etc.

I'm not a DECnet expert, but I've worked with TCI's code, and I thought
it was very clean, and it's amazingly portable to all sorts of environments.
I have no direct experience with Ki, but I've talked to their head techie
folks, and they sounded very bright and knowledgeable.  Thursby I've
just seen come on the scene, so I have no opinion one way or the other.
