MultiNet has "IP services for DECnet", which presents a DECnet-like
interface but uses IP.

"DECnet application services let applications designed to execute over
DECnet to execute over TCP/IP instead. DECnet application services provide
the same DECnet API (Application Programmer Interface) seamlessly across
TCP without DECnet protocols or software, and without the additional
overhead of running both protocol stacks."
