   I know Sun sold such a product for Solaris.  I also know that
   KiResearch sold a DECnet product for a great many platforms,
   including SunOS.  But unless Sun (Oracle) or KiResearch is
   willing to sell them now, I don't know of any way to get them.

   You might look into the DECnet package for Linux, but if it
   includes kernel code (it probably does), then porting it to
   Solaris would be non-trivial.
