Below is part of an email from the decnet-for-linux author/maintainer
that she's no longer maintaining the project, and that there's a bug
in the linux kernel code for decnet after release 2.6.29.
Just thought I'd drop a copy of that here, in case anyone
can, and cares to, do something about that. Thanks...

I've sent a patch to the linux-kernel mailing list to orphan
the kernel code. I can't maintain it - I don't have the time, the
expertise or even really the hardware any more. Unfortunately
there is a bug in the DECnet kernel code such that any release after
2.6.29 will just oops when trying to make a connection. So I recommend
you steer clear of newer kernels unless you fancy fixing the bug yourself.
