No one ever called it a "Digital Ethernet Personal Computer Bus Adapter", just a DEPCA. I never previously knew that there was any meaning behind the DEPCA name. I have a DEPCA in a 486 box that I got set up a while ago with some version of DECnet DOS, or Pathworks, from here, I forget which version without setting it up to take a look: http://www.bitsavers.org/bits/DEC/decnet/ Over 30 years ago I worked on PC DECwindows for DOS for a couple of years. There were Rational 286 and PharLap 386 DOS Extender versions. The DECnet DOS development was in a different group in a different building. The PC DECwindows for DOS server used DECnet DOS as a network transport.
