Well, I've received a variety of responses to my query.  It seems that
the consensus is that the easiest solution is to get Ultrix from DEC
which supports X connections over both TCP/IP and Decnet.
 
However, for those of you out there with Sun hardware, there appears
to be a solution from a vendor called Thursby Software Systems in
Arlington, Texas.  They have a product called TSSnet which provides
a socket library for Decnet on the Sun which allows the MIT X11R4 server
to be built on the Sun.  I have been given two phone numbers for them:
(817)478-5070 and (817)478-2313.  Thanks to grobicki@aplvax.jhuapl.edu
and sew@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu for providing this information.
 
As for Openwindows on the Sun, apparently the current release cannot
be used with SunLink DNI, but a couple of people report that the
next release of Openwindows probably will support Decnet.
 
Anyway, thanks for your responses!
