It is still a 'good to have' for those running real PDP-11 machines without I/D support, like the 11/23 and 11.23+. The TCP/IP stack Johnny has written works great on the machines (emulated or real) that do support I/D space. I would really like to have Johnny's TCP/IP stack on my 11/23+ but I understand it is a big undertaking to modify the stack to work on non-I/D space systems. DECnet works though but lacks NTP-like utilities.
