Actually, I'm about 1/2 way through my own Phase IV implementation (endnode, LAN
only) and have been for a year or so.  I never finished it since no one had ever 
seemed interested in DECnet.  I even have a working ncp.  I also have 
DECnet-ULTRIX compatible libdnet library.

The kernel API is also compatible with DECnet-ULTRIX so that COMPAT_ULTRIX could
do the right thing as well.

[I have a slight advantage over other people in doing this as I spent 10 years
working on DECnet and LAT for ULTRIX and Digital UNIX.  DECnet I can do in my
sleep. :-)]
