Yes, it's me again.  I'm still looking for various networking "solutions" 
for some of my more ancient/unsupported equipment.

My first thought was to run SLIP/PPP -> No such animal on this platform.

My second (after quick-scanning the grey wall and blindly hitting a 
cross-reference) was to run Asynch DECnet -> one response :-) from Israel :-(

Surely _someone_ knows where I can beg, borrow, or steal (figuratively and
lotsa smileys included) a copy of DEC's product (which, like I said, is "no
longer supported")

Or should I be looking at UUCP/UUPC as the answer to my communications woes?

Many thanks,

Steve (SPG6) spg@alpha.sunquest.com

BTW, I've already tried IRUG, Caroline hadn't seen what I was looking for for
at least two years...

BTBTW, I'd be willing to pay shipping and a reasonable price for
software+media+documentation.
