Let's say you had the PAK(s).

You could then install the software.  Then what?

That software connected through some hardware to something outside.  What 
hardware was this and what did it connect to?  I'm pretty sure that the 
hardware in question isn't simulated primarily due to the fact that anything it 
could connect to doesn't exist today....

A simulated VAX Cluster can easily be constructed and it can talk to the 
outside world via TCP/IP via UCX or MultiNet.

Hi folks,

Back in the day (mid to late 1980s), I was the system manager of a VAXcluster. 
I have been recreating the experience using simh, which I find to be excellent. 
My system manager days finished with VMS 5.5-2, although I also have emulated 
systems running both earlier and later versions of VMS.

One of my projects is to build a virtual version of the cluster that I used to 
manage. I have PAKs though the hobbyist programme for most of the software that 
we used, but these do not include PAKs for VAX P.S.I. nor P.S.I.-Access. We had 
software that used these products to access the outside world.

I do have the PSI/PSI-Access software on CDs, just not the PAKs.

I have a vague memory of seeing a message somewhere saying that it was possible 
to get PAKs for these products. Does anyone know how to do this?

Cheers

Peter Allan
