Thanks for the explanation. If I'd had to guess just from the name, I'd have thought this was some networking protocol for VAX's or something, as sort of an analog to "AppleTalk" or whatever.

That would be DECNet. A bit more OSI-ish than what won in the end, but you could do some pretty nifty stuff on it. There was support for a number of OSes, back in the day.
