There is very little hope of getting IP/TCP into a 256K machine
and doing anything else. We at one time crammed IP/TCP into a 256K
PDP 11/45, but using UNET, not Berkeley's implementation, and little
else would fit at the same time. Since 2.9 has a 200K+ kernel with
IP/TCP turned on, the 11/34 is too small for the job.
Using the CMC or Excelan IP/TCP cards might be a solution, since the
networking code is resident on the card's own memory. But face it;
the 11/34 is too small for UNIX today.

There is a version of 2.9bsd which also runs the
4.2 networking (IP/TCP) code. However, it requires a PDP-11 which
has Supervisor space (11/44 or 11/70), and probably at
least 1MB of main memory if you're going to do any real work.
I'll be happy to supply details to anyone interested.
