Maybe someone out there has an answer to this simple 
question.  Too bad that the answer isn't going to be
as easy as the question :-)  Anyone using/know of/seen/believe
there exists a package to allow a unix system(not Ultrix!)  to communicate
via Decnet?  Scenario:  386's going to be running SCO 3.2 want to
be able to talk Decnet.  I know one thing to do is have 3.2 with
some tcp/ip software and tcp/ip software on DEC equipment, but this
is not what the group I am inquiring for wants to do -- they want
386's to talk decnet so as not to buy more software for DEC equip.
The reason I rule out ultrix is that the fact that it can talk
decnet is a gimme since it is a dec os.  Ok, I cant be picky...
ANY unix based system talking decnet.  Any input on packages, home brews,
or anyone with opinions accepted!  Thanks in advance.
