Just in case someone needs the latest release: If you can do without 
_using_ TCL/TK's socket support (not to be confused with X windows
over TCP/IP, which isn't affected), it's possible to create a dummy 
MULTINET_SOCKET_LIBRARY.EXE that does allows for running the 
Miami 7.5 version in restricted fashion without Multinet installed:

$! LINK needs _some_ input file; this could be any language ...
$ cc/object=[]DUMMY.OBJ SYS$INPUT:
#include <stdlib.h>
dummy(void) { abort(); }
$ link/share=MULTINET_FAKE.EXE  DUMMY.OBJ,SYS$INPUT:/option
gsmatch=lequal,1,10
symbol_vector=(spare,-
        DUMMY=procedure,-
        spare,-
--- replace this line by 2600 [sic!] copies of the preceding "spare,-" line ---
        spare)
$ exit

... and add to your setup:
$ define MULTINET_SOCKET_LIBRARY dev:[dir]MULTINET_FAKE.EXE
