Turns out the customer's DS300 is gone but the info is still online on
their Alpha.  That was the second to last 'classic' DECserver still in
use (we still use a DS200 for a dialin/dialout modem here for the
sites that still make us use a modem!).

SH1601ENG.SYS, The installed version is DS3022, DECserver 300 V2.2 and
I still have release notes for V1.0 and V2.0.  Apparently the V1.0
release did not include TCPIP capabilities but the V2.0 and subsequent
did.

Here's a link to the DS300 V2.2c SPD:  http://h30266.www3.hp.com/masterindex/spd/spd_00f0995c.txt
which clearly calls out TCPIP capabilities. Maybe you need to update ;)
