Not clear what you want to do.

The KS does have an ARPA interface, the AN22.  I have not tracked down a
spec for it.  It is KMC-11 based, not simulated by SimH at present.  The
TOPS-20 monitor sources for 4.1 are a resource.  One day I'll get access
to my stuff at CHM and will look for a spec.  It's on my list to see if
it's worth emulating.

The DEUNA is simulated in SimH.  Neither the released TOPS-10 nor
TOPS-20 support it.  There is some TCP code floating around that does.

If you're trying to move files in and out:
  DECnet does work (phase II on TOPS-20, Phase III or IV on TOPS-20),
and will talk to VAX/RSX.  You can move files by stopping on or PMR
thru) one of them.

  ANF-10 on the KS does work, KS-KS.  It should be possible to build the
-11 nodes on the KS & boot them on a SimH -11.  I've been meaning to get
around to that, but haven't.  With ANF, besides the peripherals and
terminals, you get DCP.

   Networking on the KS is supported on both OSs by the KDP emulator. 
The DMR should work, though I think there's a monitor bug in 7.04 where
my colleagues changed AC definitions and didn't update the DMR driver. 
Also on my list.

    You can also move files in and out with Kermit (serial lines),
cards, magtape, printer.

I don't know what you mean by 'anf-10 userland bridge'.  Of course, FAL
on the -10 listens to both DECnet and ANF.
