[Info-vax] TCP/IP on OpenVMS V8.4-L2

   "doesn't work" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say
what you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
messages, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.

      tcpip show version

   I thought that old/lame versions of TCPIP didn't have a useful
implementation of SCP.  The usual result here is:

scp1 compatibility mode is not supported.
protocol error: expected control record

ITS $ tcpip show version

  HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Industry Standard 64 Version V5.7 - ECO 5
  on an HP rx2600  (1.50GHz/6.0MB) running OpenVMS V8.4-2L3

   The results seem to be better with an x86 field-test system (with
newer everything):

V86 $ tcpip show version

  VSI TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS x86_64 Version X6.0
  on a VMware, Inc. VMware7,1 running OpenVMS E9.2    

V86 $ prod show prod *ssh*   ! (Now a separate product.)

   Not when compared with an information-free problem description.
