Ralph -

Yes, I'm here!

There are a goodly number of sites running BRL/UNIX, our V6-based UNIX
for the PDP-11s.  It includes 4.1aBSD / 2.8BSD style network support,
with a fair number of device drivers for network devices.  This is not
the packet driver, but the full TCP/IP networking.

Note that BRL/UNIX presently only support TCP/IP networking on split-I/D
machines.

I'd be glad to discuss all of the improvements we have made to the kernel
if you are interested.  At this point it is about 40% rewritten.

BRL/UNIX comes with V7 and System-III compatibility libraries to provide
full source (not binary) compatibility.
