(As I've said before on the list) there was at
least one third-party producing
a TCP/IP stack for VMS before DEC got around to it.
CMU-IP from Carnegie Mellon?

Well that's funny, I don't where my mis-perception as to the origins originated
but I think I've had it since way back when. (Somebody else ordered the
software package - I just programmed with it).

Wollongong is a town in Australia, no? I was of the
impression that they were an Aussie company also.
They made a TCP/IP stack for DOS IINM, as part of a
package of sorts back in the day.

The town is a little south of Sydney, and there is a university.
There are a couple of mentions of The Wollongong Group on google but I didn't
find a company history or anything about it's origins or location.

Ah yes. A prerelease[%] of Eunice was my first exposure to Unix, and
it never made much sense to me...until I encountered the real thing,
and realized that so many of the things which made no sense were
actually impedance mismatches between Unix and VMS, and how Eunice had
to twist and bend to make them fit.
[%] We got our hands on a prerelease because Kashtan did grad school
work at the lab I was at was with at the time.
