This was the posting I'd replied to, and the text that was included in 
the reply:

The official product name for the DEC IP stack was never UCX.

The apparently-terminal version of IP on OpenVMS VAX was also in the 
TCPIP era, and not in the UCX era;.  From memory, TCP/IP Services V5.0 
roughly coincided with V7.0, and there was only limited support for 
V4.2 on some of the earliest V7 releases, and that support transitioned 
quickly to V5-vintage support for V7-vintage OpenVMS releases.

The linked article <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1373> provided a 
brief history of the various product names and facility name prefixes — 
including the UCX and TCPIP facility name prefixes — involved.

Per the date shown at 
<http://h71000.www7.hp.com/network/tcpip_matrix.html>, the 
apparently-terminal version of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS VAX would 
have been in the HP era, but the SPD for that version 
<http://h30266.www3.hp.com/masterindex/spd/spd_01300b28.txt> was 
clearly still Compaq- and not HP-branded.
