 Does anyone know if there is a version of TCP/IP

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.  
 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. 
What version of VMS was current around 1986-7? I installed Wollongong TCP/IP on
a VMS/microVax at that time (I think it was 1986, but 1987 at the latest), but
I don't remember what version of VMS was on the microVax. 
In that time frams it would be MicroVMS a version of VMS4.7, V5 was later.
