PARSEC Technical Information

You should be aware there are two setup tools you can use to make this whole process easier. First, you can do a commandline setup by running decnetsetup. For an X11 interface (CDE style) you can run dxdecnetsetup.

If you are using OSF/1. I'm sorry, I don't know which disk the DECnet packages are located. In fact, I actually aren't even sure that there was such a thing. However, I can tell you that for Digital Unix 4.x it will be on the associated products disks. For Tru64 5.0 you will find it on the Compaq Product Software Collection disk number two in a package called dna500. For Tru64 5.1 you'll find it on the same disk but the package name is dna510.

The following are DEC manual pages that relate to running DECNet on Tru64, Digital Unix, or OSF/1. We'll try to get these online, but for now, you should have them on your system once you install DECnet.
