Hello,

We needed 2 years ago a pcap on VMS itanium. Because they had been some 
crashes, we had a fruitful collaboration with Dick Stockdale (VMS 
Software) who helped us on his free time (he has not a lot of it). Dick 
is in charge of new ethernet and tcpip on VMS.

What we have got is not perfect - no more time for Dick and for us to 
develop - and is not published - same reason -.

We used it for 2 years, and have to choose another solution because simh 
itself has very bad performance on Itanium / VMS compared to other 
platforms. And because no one finds time to address these performance 
issues on VMS (have a look in simh news group).

If you are interested I can have a look on what remains on our sites and 
give to you as is.
