I know you don't support it. :-)

Yes, and it's *that* problem I'm looking for a solution to.

Freed as in "legally freed", or just "made available".

harhan.org don't exist from where my dns is looking... :-/
Another machine I have access to managed to resolve ivan.harhan.org to
208.221.139.1, but there is no response at that address.
However, if it is just the sources, and not some legal notes available,
then I don't need to go there.

I don't support NetBSD, but Ultrix' MSCP/SCA code is available to everyone.

It is a problem only if you choose to honor copyright laws. Since that is your
personal voluntary choice, it is your problem.

The International Free Computing Task Force has freed the Ultrix-32 V2.00 and
V4.20 sources. They can be found on our FTP site in
ivan.Harhan.ORG:/pub/UNIX/thirdparty/Ultrix-32

Hi. I have a small question for you.
I'm trying to figure out a way of getting the MSCP driver from Ultrix
available for porting to NetBSD.
The problem is that it's (c) by Digital, now HP.
Does anyone know of any persons who were involved in the old days when
code was exchanged between BSD and Ultrix? Those people might be a good
starting point for getting code today as well I suspect.
Does anyone else around here have any good clues on this?
Could I be lucky enough that Ultrix actually have been released?
And I'm talking Ultrix-32 here, not Ultrix-11.

Hi Joe, I've passed the e-mail on to some mailing lists, and hopefully
you will get some eager mail about it soon!
Good luck,

I have an interesting problem for you....
A friend of mine here in Denver, (Colorado,US) is in posession of a
PDP 11/73 and litterally a ton of peripheral hardware- it was left in
her house by her ex-husband who more than likely dumpster-dived it while
working for the phone company. The Ex is a talented Computer guy, but a
bit of an idiot in his personal life....
Friend wants to find a new home for this machine.
Friend is erratic. Also fairly pissed off.
Could probably use some money, but mainly wants the thing to go away,
rather than calculate actual dollar value or whatever.... Would be happy
if it went to a good home.
What does one do in such a situation?
In my case, I found your web-page near the top of a Google search.....
Regards,
Joe Dellea

Well, that's kinda store-and-forward. A bit dated, innit? Why
not go the modern way and go straight for the splattering-type
mbdp? For those who dunno: Multicast Beer Distribution Protocol.
One catch... given the kind of stuff we want distributed, we'd better
not have any (memory and/or session) leaks...

Needed to tell someone, so I thought I would tell all of you!
My PDP11/73 now has BSD2.11 installed and working. I added a DEQNA card,
rebuilt the kernel and now ping, telnet, ftp et al is working.
The joy of telneting into my '11 from a Windoze machine is beyond words!
Many thanks to Warren, Fred and Joe for all the help and advice.
Regards
Kevin

(rumor is, that 2.9bsd has much more space available for /dev/beer
buffers, though, so if 2.11 doesn't allow enough of it, just take
the plunge and downgrade to 2.9... ;-)

It seems as though there was considerable interest in Porting Unix v6 to i386 some months ago. This is a project that appeals to me also. I was wondering if anyone has made any headway in the project and would like to share their experience.
Hi,
I have some RD54 drives (and maybe a RD53 or so) that I want to
part with. Free for a PDP user in the Netherlands who is willing
to pick them up in Arnhem (I won't ship them)
