I'm interested, since I can't seem to find my mirrored stuff anywhere.
Thanks,

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.

If you're in need of a specific patch, ask on comp.os.vms.
it seems hp is talking to Montager, no idea what the status is.

Hi all,
it seems that hp has killed the patch-site.
Has anybody mirrored them before the death?

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...

Hi,
It has been a while since I set anything like this up and my memory is
a little hazy.
There was a driver library that provided a common interface to the
network cards, driven through interrupts. It provided access to the
data in the ethernet frames and not much more. I seemed to remember
having it working happily with NSCA Telnet and FTP for MS DOS. I can
not remember if I got it to work with MS Kermit. The driver software
was pretty simple to configure from memory, give it the I/O address,
hardware interrupt of the network card, software interrupt to use for
calling applications as arguments. Put the whole line in autoexec.bat
and forget about it.
A quick read of MS Kermit at
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/mskermit.html seems to indicate that MS
Kermit has it's own protocol stacks (which I seem to remember). I
would expect that MS Kermit contains enough of a LAT stack as well,
and that MS Kermit would be looking for a similar, interrupt driven,
interface.
At one point I may have had a backup copy of the driver software but I
am not going to have access to my MS DOS backups for a couple of
weeks.

St. Louis, MO, December 1, 1997-
Meridian Technology Corporation announces the release of Version 2.0
of SuperLAT Gateway, a product that connects Windows NT-based networks
and Digital LAT networks.
Version 2.0 of SuperLAT Gateway is most appropriate for organizations
integrating Windows NT into a Digital LAT environment or those
eliminating their Digital VMS or UNIX systems entirely. It allows
LAT-based computers and peripheral devices to be used from an NT-based
network, as well as NT-based printers to be used from a LAT network.
New connectivity options let organizations preserve their hardware and
software investments by increasing the flexibility with which existing
computing resources may be used.

Hello!
Sampsa, I am definitely not going to ask why, especially since I have
seen that one, no not yours, just the regular one.
However the websites referenced seem to be not at home properly..
