Hi folks,
I can't seem to find the "Networking Support Utilities" package for
the 3B2 anywhere online. Unfortunately, this package is required in
order to install TCP/IP (which I DO have)
(Note that this is NOT the "Basic Networking Utilities" package --
that's UUCP, and I do have that)
If anyone has diskette images squirreled away, please let me know!

I believe the yahozna archive has them under misc/network. However
disks 5 and 6 have a txt extension so I afraid someone might have ftp'd
them in text mode and not binary. Worth taking a look. Here is a
mirror:
https://www.3b2archive.org/archive/yahozna/misc/network/
I believe Mowgli Assor also has a copy as I think he got his NI card
working in his 300. I can give you his contact info off list.

Yup, this is where I originally got the NI card driver disk, and
the Wollongong TCP/IP disks.
Unfortunately, when I attempt to install the Wollongong package, I
get the message:
Installing Wollongong Integrated Networking WIN/3B: Release 3.0.1.
Copyright (c) 1985 The Wollongong Group, Inc.
All Rights Reserved
**ERROR** Wollongong Integrated Networking WIN/3B: Release 3.0.1
cannot be installed --
It requires the Networking Support Utilities package to be
installed first.
Digging deeper, it appears that "Network Support Utilities" was a
yet a third package that was distributed separately. It's mentioned
in the STREAMS programming guide.
I believe Mowgli Assor also has a copy as I think he

Awesome, thanks, I appreciate it!

Replying to myself here to preserve it for posterity, and in case
anyone else is looking.
I was able to track down two versions of the NSU software in Josh's
Yahozna archive. It was unfortunately not in floppy image format, but
rather a cpio archive dumped from a tape. Thankfully, I was able to
turn the archive into an installation floppy image using the 3B2
emulator!
The floppy images, if anyone else needs them, are now archived on
my homepage here:
