    Does anybody have a patch for VMS 3.0 that allows receiving broadcast
    messages in passall mode?

I have a such a patch, guaranteed to work on VAX/VMS Release 2.5 and
earlier releases.  It is not tested on VAX/VMS Release 3.0 and later
releases, and probably needs to be changed.  The documentation
describing the patch is very clear, so anyone with 3.0 or 3.1 fiche
can dive in and find the new location to patch very quickly, assuming
that TTDRIVER.EXE has not changed grossly.

The patch is to TTDRIVER itself, and does not require any new
programming once the patch is made.

I cannot get the patch this instant, due to problems with dead hosts
and possibly funny Chaosnet connections here at MIT.  However, I gave
this patch to several Info-VAX readers many months ago.  If anyone
still has the patch online, please speak up.

Have fun, folks.
