Certainly. DECnet-ULTRIX supports task-to-task programming with
DECnet-VAX (VMS).

The DECnet-ULTRIX User's and Programmer's Guide is a good start. The
Order Number for V3.0 is AA-EA88C-TE. Chapters 4, 6, 7 and appendixes
C and D all contain useful information. The programming examples in
appendix C can be found in the DNUUNS030 (or DNPUNS030 for DS3100)
subset. If you have that subset installed you will find the examples
in the directory /usr/examples/decnet.
If you are familiar with using TCP/IP under BSD you should have no problem
with DECnet-ULTRIX.
Enjoy!
