I believe (but am not certain, can anyone clarify?) that it is what grew into Pathworks. DEC made an 8-bit ISA Ethernet card, that also (inexplicably) had a port on it for one of the DEC "puck" mice. DECnet/DOS supported file transfers and CTERM, and I think LAT but I may be misremembering that part. I seem to recall it having worked pretty well. At the time, I was using it on my home network, which consisted of a MicroVAX- II, a VAXstation-2000, and a 16MHz 80286-based DOS machine, the latter of which was state of the art at the time. Does anyone have a copy of DECnet/DOS? I no longer do, at least not that I can find. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
