For a while there was an attempt to make a port of NetBSD to the PDP-10. Its goal was (partly) I think to shake out various assumptions in the code that were less than portable. However the attempt was never completed, and at some point the code was dropped. > IP for TOPS-20 would be easier - except that there was no ethernet > support in Phase III. And the KS TOPS-20 stopped there. One could TOPS-20 on klh has TCP (and hence IP) in the Panda distribution. I improved klh to use tap/bridge devices (much like currently present in simh). Too bad there is nobody maintaining simh to integrate my patches officially. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.'
