Ok. I assume you already have DECnet installed. Installing TCP/IP should 
actually be pretty simple and straight forward. Download the disk or 
tape - MIM::US:[FTP]. Extract the information (atleast if from tape), 
run IPGEN, and then you just need to invoke the startup scripts at boot, 
and probably config a few things in a couple of files to be up and 
running. It really should not be that hard. And of course, I can answer 
questions as well... :-)
