There are two VMS TCP/IP's that I know of.  The one is the DSI/Compion/Gould
ACCESS-T software, which we are running.  It sucks.  The other is the
Woolongong Group's TCP/IP which was taken from their UNIX under TCP product
and will run seperately.  It can't be any worse than the Compion.  It
seems to work passably, however, talking to Woolengong people convinces
me that they have no one there who really knows what's going on.

Of course, 4.2BSD comes speaking TCP/IP (pretty much) and there are a
couple of venders out now claiming TCP/IP in their version of System V.
Actually, AT&T has a contract to do TCP/IP for System V for the Army,
but they aren't compelled to do any work on it, and they are not.
