The DVNETRTG PAK is included in the Hobbyist license set I got from HP.

There is no PAK for WAN-DEVICE-DRIVERS though.

I believe that several folks are already running Rob Jarratt's DMC on VMS without any PAKs.  I don't know what version of VMS they are running though.  I suspect that V4.x didn't require PAKs for this stuff....
