The irony of it, that the DEC concept requires creating a separate server
process for every client connection,

 It doesn't.
 Processes are re-used for task to task servers.

Modified version of add server:
$ type add2.com
$ open/read/write f sys$net
$ read f num1
$ num1 = f$integer(num1)
$ read f num2
$ num2 = f$integer(num2)
$ numres = num1 + num2
$ numres = f$string(numres)
$ write f numres
$ pid = f$getjpi(0, "PID")
$ write f pid
$ close f
$ exit
$ type tst2.com
$ open/read/write f 0"myusername mypassword"::"task=add2.com"
$ write f "123"
$ write f "456"
$ read f res
$ read f pid
$ close f
$ write sys$output "''res says ''pid'"
$ exit
