Don't forget that DECnet was also available on DOS and Windows PCs via the DEC Pathworks, and later, Pathworks 32 product lines.

It was also available on Ultrix for RISC (e.g. DECstations with MIPS CPU) and OSF/1 aka Digital Unix for Alpha

DEC at one stage produced a DECimage scanning platform that coupled an 80286 PC running DOS + DEC Ethernet card, together with a Fujitsu scanner and Xionics interface card (to handle the CCITT G42D compression).  The resultant output was either TIFF files or DDIF (Digital Document Interchange Format) files.  Everything was triggered from the VMS system talking DECnet to the PC.
