In linux kernel since version 2.6.12
The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by
Digital (now Compaq). It provides reliable stream and sequenced
packet communications over which run a variety of services similar
to those which run over TCP/IP.
To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please
look at Patrick Caulfield's web site:
<http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>.
More detailed documentation is available in
Documentation/networking/decnet.txt.
Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support"
below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid
in configuration at run time.
The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module is called decnet.
