Once upon a time there seems to have been a company called KI Research
at Columbia, Maryland. Circa 1994 they had for sale something called
KINET DNA which apparently was a user-mode DECnet stack available for
numerous Unix flavors and OS/2 (maybe more operating systems). I came
across the name looking for a DECnet implementation for HP-UX.

Here's one of the threads from 1993 (!) that I am looking at:

Does anyone here have pointers to some archive which might have
distributions of KINET?

Thanks
