Trying to port TCP utilities to the -10 would be non-trivial. Somewhere
there IS a C compiler for the -10. But 36-bit words; 6, 7, 8 & 9 bit

attributes of the -10 do not make porting easy. (Although the C
language in theory can deal with it.)
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.
The code is just moved to Attic, so it may be resurrected by someone
someday.
The PDP-10 port is my fault. It is at the point when the system wants
to mount the root filesystem, but I couldn't really decide how to deal
with the
disk structures in a sane way.
