I warn you the DMR/DMC support was for BSD was rudimentary, and most of us in the UNIX community did not mess with it because we had non-DEC Ethernet controllers from that time. You might have more success seeing if we can dig up a simulation of the Interlan or 3Com Unibus boards which were what may of used.
