Anyone put berknet on System 5?   Any reason why it shouldn't work?

I've compiled the telnet, ftp, and a few other TCP daemons and user
programs to run with the BRL System III/V compatibility library.
Unfortunately they run on a Berkeley kernel.  I'll trade these for
a copy of the system III/V kernel with the Berkeley networking system
calls and select.

I think what was meant by "berknet" on System V was NOT 4.2BSD's IPC
mechanisms, but rather the old, creaky asynch-line-based batch
network which used the BK(5) line discipline.

Anyway, my offer of the user mode code still stands for any one
(Bell, Berkeley, BBN, or whatever).
