Oh.
I have to admit, VMS pretty much escapes me in general. Give me a
little time with most any unix and I can get around pretty OK, but
I've been trying off-and-on for a year to get my head around this stuff
and it just don't hunt. I'm still looking for that magical "first
clue".

Well, you just stumbled across what's probably the most confusing part of
VMS! Namely trying to figure out which license PAKs activate which
networking bits :^)
Dunno, I came to VMS from a strong UNIX background, and now I prefer VMS
for the most part. It just clicked for me I guess. OTOH, maybe it's just
my love of books getting the best of me :^) You can't beat the OpenVMS
docset!
What kind of problems are you having with VMS? Outside of comp.os.vms this
is probably the best place to ask VMS related questions.

Isn't
that licensed under the UCX pak?
No, UCX is TCPIP. You need DVNETEND or DVNETEXT.
