I'm interested, since I can't seem to find my mirrored stuff anywhere.
I've got a bunch stashed on my system, but I don't think they're comprehensive. They may get you started in the meanwhile. Unfortunately, I'm not currently connected to HECnet. I had a misconfiguration in my router and my IP address has been wrong for months and I just discovered it.
I've since fixed it, but it may take a while before the other end of my DECnet-over-IP connection sees the correction. It's also possible that there may be a change I need to make on my end since I've been out of the loop for a while.
In the event that I do come back online, you can take a look at DUSTY::DUA0:[DOWNLOADS.OPENVMS] for what I've got.

it seems that hp has killed the patch-site.
Has anybody mirrored them before the death?
For those who are into older stuff, I think I have a fair number of the
more interesting (to me anyway) patches for VAX/VMS 5.5-2 stashed somewhere.
I also probably have a small selection of AXP/VMS patches from the 7.1-2 sort
of time frame, maybe a few from earlier too.
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
I've got plenty of web hosting space and bandwidth, happy to mirror anything for HECnet people...

Saku, I have VAX/VMS 7.3 patches but the most recent ones are at least a year old. If you're interested then I'll mail you a list tomorrow.

Thanks Hans, but my plan was to do a clean install from a 7.3 CD and then patch it up.
Now it does not seem useful. I think I should have mirrored patches from some years ago, but not the most recent stuff.

those packet drivers, are probably the ones from
http://www.crynwr.com/ .... I had just recently 'ported' quake world
to MS-DOS using WATTCP & DJGPP, and it naturally called the crynwr
packet drivers... But I do remember back in the day using PCTCP and it
used the same drivers... Oh the wars of fighting with the SLIP & PPP
drivers....

Did a little more reading.
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskoverview.html
and there is a link to the packet driver collection, as required to
provide the link to the physical hardware. However it seems as though
the file is no longer on the referred to http site.
Enjoy.

I _think_ the packet driver is just used for the TCP/IP stuff, at least installing one didn't help with the DECNET stuff, I think that might call the PATHWORKS drivers like Steve mentioned...
