Back a few years ago the Multinet stack for VMS supported DECNet/TCP
interworking...  Don't know who has the product now...  If it is truly VAX
and not alpha, the old CMU implementation had a DECNet driver.

I've not tried it, but my gut reaction would be to use GRE tunnels. Have
you looked on cisco.com for sample configs?
