Thanks Matt, I did have the netrtg040.a file but it was corrupted. The one on the TU58 tape worked perfectly and I was finally able to install DECnet. The network does come up but goes right down with a synchronizing error. It's always something it seems. Should be all set once I get that figure

Brian, I wonder why you think the Hobbyist licences won't work. I have a number of virtual and physical vaxen and virtiual and have no problems networking them. I believe that most of HECNET runs on Hobbyist Licences. After all it’s a Hobbyist DECNET. http://www.update.uu.se/~bqt/hecnet.html
