Hi,
Just needing to install stuff to a freshly installed VAXstation
that’s on HECnet and don’t have many other options for file transfer
at the moment..
Is there a VMS Freeware CD shared anywhere?
OTOH, if you need to copy files over HECnet, let me know what specific
disc(s) you want (not everything on earlier Freeware disks were on later
ones) and I'll mount them and give you a nodename and access info.
I suggest you register for the MultiNet Hobbyist program here:
https://www.process.com/resources/openvms/hobbyist.html
It will ask you for your Hobbyist PAK checksum, but it seems to
happily
accept any properly-formatted checksums. Here's the one from the TSM
free-
ware: 2-JNHH-HBDJ-KNDA-BKJH
If you run into any problems, let me know and I'll pass them along.
Once
you have a good TCP/IP stack running things will be a lot easier.
