This question pertains to DEC Pathworks for OS/2.  The literature
mentions communicating over DECNet via sockets.  Assuming a host
created this socket, how would I connect to it?  Is there an API for
that?  I have been working with TCP/IP sockets for a while.  How
similar are DECNet sockets to TCP/IP sockets?

We have a turnkey product that connects with customers' minis and
mainframes and receives information from them.  Usually it is a
TCP/IP network and we use sockets but one customer has advised us
that their network is a DECNet network.

We are aware that TCP/IP may be available on the customer's DEC
machines but would like to know about providing native support for
DECNet.

If possible, email would be preferred.  Thanks for any help.
