Easiest place to find it is the TUHS Unix Tree page:
https://www.tuhs.org//cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=BBN-Vax-TCP

And was the BBN V6 version ever ported to V7?

Several tapes of it survived in the CSRG archives, currently held by the Bancroft Library at Berkeley.

Are those online? Or an index? Google is failing me (or my google skillz aren't mad this morning).

A late version of the tcp/ip routines survived at the Stanford SAIL archives, currently online here:
https://www.saildart.org/[IP,SYS]/
(mixed in with sources for WAITS).

Now that's quite interesting. There's even a C compiler in [C,SYS].

A much evolved version is in the BSD SCCS history:
https://github.com/weiss/original-bsd/tree/master/sys/deprecated/bbnnet
Note that the location ‘deprecated’ is where the code ended up. Back in 1985 it would have been in the normal build path, but SCCS does not preserve that.

I wonder if anybody has gone to the trouble of trying to recreate the movement of these sys/deprecated things into real moves to deprecated coupled with the commit that removed them from the files files, or if any work has been done to make the tree buildable with these obscure things...
