Do you have a DECstation 3100 or a VAXstation 3100 A poor choice of model
numbers has resulted in a bit of confusion...

If you have a DECstation, the only thing it can run is ULTRIX, so it has to
be running ULTRIX. VMS will run on the VAXstation (as will ULTRIX).

Since TCP/IP is part of ULTRIX, the DECstation will have it. So will a
VAXstation running ULTRIX.
