A friend of mine in SNU(Seoul National Univ., Korea) is grappling
with 2.9bsd network. They received the distribution from UCB a few
months ago. While they were installing it, they found some header
files of tcp/ip missing.
So, here is some questions on the matter. I would appreciate it
if you give me any answers to them.
Thanks in advance!
1. If they get the missing sources, can it be installed without
severe problems ? Then, can you send me the missing files ?
(Here is the list of missing header files:
/usr/include/sys/
ecreg.h, emreg.h, ilreg.h, mbuf.h, protosw.h,
socket.h, socketvar.h, unreg.h
/usr/net/sys/net/
css.h, dmc.h, ec.h, un.h, vv.h
)
2. If you are using tcp/ip on 2.9bsd, can you tell me about
its performance and its overhead ?
And what type of device is used on it ?
3. What's the most recent version of 2.9bsd tcp/ip in public domain ?
4. Where can they get the source, and how ?
Thanks.

We hadn't bothered with the network stuff, and when I tried it I found we were missing these files.

I suggest getting a copy of Keith Bostic and Co.'s version of 2.9BSD (seismo 2.9BSD). It has a very good (complete) version of TCP/IP. I had two 2.9BSD/CSS systems networked and talking very nicely with 4.[23] systems. Keith and Co. have done a great job with 2.9BSD!!! Porting 4.2 networking programs to 2.9BSD/CSS is very easy. contact Keith Bostic seismo!keith to get the distribution. (I believe you have to send a copy of your license). Hope this helps.

If anyone wants to send me mail, I will be glad to send them the missing files. Just list the ones you need. On the other hand, the networking as originally distributed doesn't work, and it takes a fair amount of effort to make it work. > 2.

Right now it runs on 4-5 ethernets, Pronet and a few other things. > 3. What's the most recent version of 2.9bsd tcp/ip in public domain ? 2.9BSD has never been in the public domain. > 4. Where can they get the source, and how ? If you want to run networking on a PDP, you have 3 choices, that I know of. -- the BRL gateway software, which turns a PDP into a packet passer. -- Ultrix-11 from DEC, a V7 based kernel with 4.2 networking. -- The CSS/Harvard distribution, available from Harvard and myself.
