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.

Does anyone
know if there is a version of TCP/IP around that will
install on
VMS 5.4. I only have UCX from a 7.3 CD-ROM which I cannot install
on 5.4
because it does not have the PRODUCT command.

The reason I am running 5.4 is that I am running it on a MicroVAX II with a
DEQNA, and my understanding is that later versions of VMS did not support
the DEQNA, only the DELQA. The other reason is that I only have an RD53 in
it and may struggle to install later versions for lack of disk space. I know
I could net boot it (if I had a DELQA) instead, but I would still prefer it
to be capable of standalone operation. I also only have 7MB of working
memory (total of 9MB but 2MB are considered bad by VMS) so it may not work
well with later versions for lack of memory (not sure though).
So to run on a later version I really need to find a DELQA and ideally an
RD54, in that case I would happily try the move to 7.3, but may be limited
by memory.

What version of VMS was current around 1986-7? I installed Wollongong TCP/IP on

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
