Yes, you can run DECNET and TCP/IP on the same ethernet; and you can
use DELNIs with either DECNET or TCP/IP or both.      DELNIs don't
care at all about the protocol on the wire.   There are some ethernet
controllers out there that don't quite work with DELNIs however.   At
Naval Research Lab I had good luck using DELNIs with:

DEC DEUNA (of course) running both DECNET and TCP/IP
3Com Unibus controller
3Com Multibus controller (in a Sun and Imagen)
Interlan Unibus controller
Interlan QBus controller (in a Integrated Solutions)
DEC Qbus controller

We had trouble with the Excelan Qbus controller as shipped by
Integrated Solutions.   Excelan was made aware of the problem, but I
don't know if its been fixed (or even if its their fault).
