[net.bugs.2bsd] IP/TCP for 2.9BSD on 11/34

jbn@wdl1.UUCP (John B. Nagle) (09/18/84)

    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.
