DBridge sounds probably refers to one of the options that you can get with
the VMS TCP/IP from The Wollongong Group.  It permits IP to operate over
DECNet, rather than permitting DECNet to operate over IP; my last 
indication was that that their VMS product is not yet shipped with
the latter capability.

Multinet is the name of another VMS TCP/IP, developed at SRI International,
and I believe still distributed by them to some lucky folks, but perhaps
not, since it (also?) is sold by TGV, an SRI "spinoff".  I believe that
they, too, can do DECNet over TCP/IP but are not yet shipping IP or
DECNet.

No doubt the TWG and TGV folks will be quick to correct any errors in the
above.
