Wollongong also produced a TCP/IP stack for VMS in the mid-80s, before DEC got
around to doing so. We used it for X.400 transport. In my experience the VMS

the same time, I don't think we heard any complaints about it from others who
were using it with our X.400 system in a more production-like environment.
I also had some time with those AT&T 3B-somethings in 1984, when we were asked
to port our X.400 system to SysV. They were nice little Unix boxes for their
time, to my recollection.

Funny you should mention that firm. I was going
through some old clippings from PeeCee magazine, and
saw mention of a package they wrote for DOS. I should
have kept that particular article, as well as a number
of others, but got sick of the mess and threw it all
out.
Was their stack for DOS environs any better?
