I want to connect a Unix-machine to our DECNET.
Does anyone know about programs emulating DECNET in Unix?
It would be a very nice way of solving my problem.

I found the following in my archive, which might be of interest to the list.

Subject: 4.3BSD or Ultrix?

A company called Technology Concepts Inc. markets a
generic DECnet that reportedly runs on 4.xBSD, called
CommUnity.  Their literature claims it is compatible
with DECnet Phase IV, UNIX as an operating system.

their address is:

        Technology Concepts Inc.
        40 Tall Pine Drive
        Sudbury, Mass 01776
        (617)443-7311

We are not using the product ourselves because we chose
Ultrix. We migrated from Eunice on VMS.  I suspect that
#2 above might or might not be correct depending on what
must be converted.  We converted Writers Workbench from
Eunice(4.1bsd?!) to Ultrix with no problems, but we have
yet to get S working 100%.  DECnet Ultrix works real well.
File copies, remote rm's ls's and cat's are easy both ways.
Task to task communications with VMS is a piece of cake.
All our printing and tape work is done over the network
to VMS machines.
