Hi Eric, I'm in the UK so can't be much help for rehoming, but please don't send this to the recyclers. I'm sure there'll be someone on this list who will take it. One thing we're really short of in the Superbrain world is disk images of the OS and applications etc so if there's a box of floppies

My recollection of Decnet for Pro boxes is that the available SW was for an end node and not a routing or other capability for the 380/350/325 boxes. While that memory might be incorrect, are there any DecNet packages for the Pro family available anywhere? a few hours of searching did not turn up a
