Do you know something about DECnet-DOS, DEC's
DECnet software for MS-DOS computers?  Please
help me!

I need DECnet software for MS-DOS computers that
uses one padding byte in the routing layer because
one PDP I need to communicate with uses non-DEC
DECnet software that demands one padding byte in the
routing layer (rather than parsing the number of padding
bytes as it should do).

Can someone with DECnet-DOS please attach an
Ethernet monitor to the net and tell me how many
padding bytes are used in the routing layer? 

Or, can someone tell me if DECnet-DOS can be patched
to use one padding byte in the routing layer?

Or, does a source exist that can sell me a copy and
deliver it in less than 30 days?

Or, does anyone in the Milwaukee, WI, area use DECnet-DOS
who can loan me a copy for a day or two?

Sign me,

Desparate
