From the soon-to-be-published part 4 of the Info VAX FAQ:

,CMUTEK-TCP/IP

Carnegie Mellon University provides, at a nominal charge, an implementation of
TCP/IP for VAX/VMS.  For people who want to investigate the TCP/IP world this
can be a great way to start.  The following contacts are taken from "The Joy of
TEK, the sequal" for version 6.6:
