I'm having terrible problems with the networking. (DIGITAL
TCP/IP/UCX v5.0). It seems that there were some bugs in this
release, but I'm not yet sure exactly how to find the fixes for them
(and the HP/DIGITAL website doesn't seem to be very helpful).
Especially when running telnet, the VAX slows to a crawl. What have
other members with this problem (and no access to newer UCXes at
work or other locations) done?
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/layered_products/vax
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/vax/V7.2
I don't see any patches for TCPIP 5.0 though.
Something else to consider would be getting the Hobbyist PAK's for
Multinet or TCPware from Process software. The current versions of
both should run on 7.2 (I'm running the current version of Multinet
on VAX/VMS 5.5-2).
