anyone know if 448 or later were released? And given the issues with
www.2bsd.com would someone be willing to mirror it (assuming we can

Yes, I did 448. Various bits and pieces that were fixed there, but
unfortunately I haven't managed to reach Steve to get it officially
sanctioned.
I've passed it out a few times, but there is no canonical place for it.
You can find it at ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/2.11bsd/
Feel free to pass that information around.
Things fixed in there:
. Added a timeout to boot prompt for automatic boot
. Made console 8-bit clean
. Changed gethnamadr to fall back to /etc/hosts if dns fails.
. Fixed kernel build process to get version and date properly into kernel.
. Fixed raboot to work on non-DEC mscp controllers
. Fixed tmac macro to work correctly after 2009.
. Fixed a couple of documentation errors.
Essentially small issues that bothered me as I was running on an 11/84
with a CMD controller a few years ago. A system on which I also booted
other OSes, which is why the 8-bit clean issue also bothered me.
(Also was really surprised at the ugly Y2K fix someone had done with
tmac, which failed again in 2010).

I've tried to reach him from time to time, as well. Hope he's OK.

I did that somewhat differently, when I started running 2.11BSD with a
console terminal that got multiplexed between different systems. Here's
my version, which allows you to change parity on the console:
