DECnet 3?

DECnet IV and DECnet V (V a.k.a. DECNET Plus, DECNET OSI) are the
currently useable systems.

DECnet IV specifications are available on line.  DECNET OSI is the OSI
public networking specification.


AFAIK DECNET IV is available for LINUX and other platforms.

I am unaware if anyone has ported the "Open Systems" networking
protocols to LINUX.  Or if any of this is relavent to the topic being
discussed.
