We use the linux-denet FAL (File Access Listener) server, which implements DEC's DAP (Data Access Protocol). The Linux FAL has a configuration file that uses the file suffix to look up RMS file attributes for common use cases. Otherwise, I think it defaults to STREAM_LF format. I think your DECnet routing code is the golden egg. If DECnet routing works without a Linux decnet kernel module, I would think the userland stuff would be a much easier chore to get working.
