UCX from V7.3 wouldn't install on V5.4 anyway. A better question
might be why are you running V5.4? Off the top of my head your best
bet will be CMU-IP, but I'm not even sure where you'll find a copy of
that (I probably have it, I'm just not sure where as I've still not
recovered from moving). I'm not sure how old of VMS CMU-IP supports
though. If you were running V5.5-2 you could run Multinet or TCPware.
We are running CMU-IP on our VAX-11/780-5, and I have all the original compressed
savesets, the uncompress tool and the READMEs. I've also done some network
programming with CMU-IP - the documentation reeks on ice, but since the source is included
(in Bliss), that can be overcome.
If anyone is interested in obtaining the CMU-IP install bits, please drop me a private
email and we'll see what we can work out. Cheers -- Ian
