Hi,
i recovered an old vaxstation (which btw has been property of Digital,
Compaq and HP thorugh the years! :) ) and i decided to install Ultrix
on it... i already have the OS, but i cannot find the DECnet stack to
connect the machine on my network (yes, i do have a decnet network),
anyone knows where i can find it?

Thanks,
Hkz

It's on the Software Product Library CD (VAX), e.g.:

May 1996 AG-QJKQE-XE:

Product_Name_______________Vers___UPI____Status___CD__Directory

DECnet/OSI for ULTRIX 5.1A 716AA 1 /dnu51a

Hmm, so it seems i'll have to find this disc, as i have only the install
disc available.

Do you happen to know if it is available somewhere?

well, you could call DEC and ask :-)

OK, joking apart, if I find some spare time I might
be able to locate the DECnet kit and email it, if it's not
too large.
It's well possible, however, that you will need a PAK
to install and run it.

That would be very VERY kind of you :)
If the kit is too big to mail i could setup you an account on a machine
to send it via ftp/scp.
PAKs will not be a problem, i think :)

Thanks again,

Has anyone got the OLD (Phase IV) DECnet Ultrix?
I don't like DECnet/OSI at all, but positive experiences are welcome!
