from the  faq
15.3.1 Can DECnet-Plus operate over IP?

Yes. To configure DECnet-Plus to operate over IP transport and over IP backbone 
networks, install and configure DECnet-Plus, and install and configure the PWIP 
mechanism available within the currently-installed IP stack. Within TCP/IP 
Services, this is a PWIPDRIVER configuration option within the UCX$CONFIG 
(versions prior to V5.0) or TCPIP$CONFIG (with V5.0 and later) configuration tool.
