The 2.2 patches may work with 2.2.18, to be honest I haven't tested them on that
version. If the patch applies OK then I imagine it will run OK.

Linux 2.4 is really the recommended kernel for running DECnet though, there has
been no development on the 2.2 version for some time and the DECnet code in 2.4
is more stable and secure for that reason.
