Word was that the code had been written but failed on VAX-11/750s due to problems with the firmware. Supposedly the latest DEC ECO was supposed to fix that, so a future release of 4.nBSD can include this facility. If you can't find this code anywhere and get really desperate, consider using UNIX System V shared memory facilities. Of course that involves yet other trade-offs and so may not be acceptable..
