I don't know if this will help, but Van Jacobsen at LBL developed an
interface called DBRIDGE that allows IP packets to be sent over DECNET.
The way it works is the two hosts on either side of a DECNET link
install this software that uses DECNET mailboxes to communicate between
them.  The packets that they are transferring are IP packets.  Then
a dummy interface is put into the kernel that knows to give IP
packets to the dbridge process for transmission over DECNET.

Both Wollongong and SRI products make this software available.
