[net.unix-wizards] PWB UNIX and TCP

Greetings from the Stone Age!!

I am looking for two things:

Is anyone else running Version 6 or PWB Unix?

Does anyone have a TCP for either of these machines??

One thing Mike didn't mention is that the BRL/JHU PDP-11 UNIX
has the famous BRL UNIX System V emulation supplied as its default
environment, in addition to a 7th Edition UNIX environment and
a strange local environment eveolved from the 6th Edition.

It sure is nice to develop software on the PDP-11 then move it
to the VAX and just say "make" to get the VAX version.  Let's hear
it for a common environment.

(I can't seem to mail to you, Tom, so here's my response:)

Yes, here at Intermetrics, Inc., we have three PDP 11/70's running PWB 1.0,
a VAX 780 running 4.1BSD, and an 11/70 soon to run 2.9 BSD.  We have no kind
of TCP running on any machine, though we plan someday to maybe bring it up
under 2.9, since someone apparently has the fixes to the 2.9 TCP/IP which
doesn't work as distributed (convenient, isn't it?).  We do have a local
net running some kind of UDP protocol, I think (I don't know too much about it).

Let me know if we can be of any help.
