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. John Nagle

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. -- Rick Kiessig {decvax, ucbvax}!sun!idi!kiessig {akgua, allegra, amd, burl, cbosgd, decwrl, dual, ihnp4}!idi!kiessig Phone: 408-996-2399
