We have an ethernet application we are converting to run using
sockets and TCP/IP running on a BSD 2.10 system. The PDP-11
systems we are running part of the software on are getting old,
and we would like to replace them with something cheaper. At
their recent sale price, 3B1's would be a good system (assuming
we can handle the TCP/IP conversion and lack of select call)
Most of the software was originally produced for a version 7 unix,
and so should be pretty portable to most other flavors.
Some of the PC-based unix's might be worth looking into, if we
knew more about them.
So, I am looking for suggestions on
--->cheap UNIX boxes that can somehow talk TCP/IP.
Any suggestions?

Its 4.1c based, not 4.3 however, so you'll probably have some problems. I don't believe that they support select(2), and the rest of the library ain't much better, but at least it is TCP/IP, and it definitely is cheap.
