I've been digging through a lot of documentation and forum posts that seem to
indicate the DECserver 300 can do TCP/IP (including some Ask The Wizard
posts.
Anyone got pointers to which distribution set to track down this version?
This post
(https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/decserver-300-management-manual.6…)
seems to indicate an older software dist provides that but I don't know which
version supports that.

Not sure what you mean by "distribution set".
The DECserver 300 downloads its software from the net, using MOP. The
filename it asks for is SH1601ENG.SYS. I have two versions of that file.
I can't remember what version it presents itself as when booting up. But
anyway, the older version is dated May 89, and that image is 388 blocks.
The newer version is dated May 96, and that image is 1139 blocks.
The later version talks tcp/ip and telnet.

The layered product distribution sets that included the extra less-common packages.

Hi Dave,
Could you also share a copy of the newer SH1601ENG.SYS with me?
Thanks!
