You've not heard of DECnet????

DECnet can use Ethernet (along with serial lines, X.25 circuits, bus 
windows, etc) as a link level mechanism. Things like topology changes, 
status updates etc are handled by multicast messages. Memory only RSX 
systems can be booted across the Ethernet.

You can also talk direct to the Ethernet using other protocol id's if you 
wish (simultaneous with DECnet usage).

Talk to your local office about it.
