* DECnet for BSD, especially 2.11 PDP-11 bsd. Yes, a 16 bit version is significantly harder than a 32 bit version, I know, but there are several real PDP11s out there running BSD that could be on HECnet. I know - I've got one! We could use the Linux DECnet as a starting point - the dn userspace utility programs might not even be that hard to port - but we'd need a kernel wizard to do the tricky bits :-) I know just the guy. If you are serious about this, please let me know and I'll see if he's interested in helping out. I think the last time I talked to him he mentioned about lacking an ethernet controller for his PDP-11. Anyway, he's a professor for the university I work at. PhD in Neurology of all things, but he's one hell of a programmer. He wrote kernel patches for BSD 2.11 (i think, it might have been 2.09) for the PDP-11/73 CPU which it seems had a bug in it that DEC had patched all their OSes to work around. Smart cat. Don't know how interested he'd be though. I can always ask. -brian -- "Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries.
