If anyone wants to send me mail, I will be glad to send them the
missing files.  Just list the ones you need.  On the other hand,
the networking as originally distributed doesn't work, and it takes
a fair amount of effort to make it work.

It's performance is quite good.  Right now it runs on 4-5 ethernets,
Pronet and a few other things.

2.9BSD has never been in the public domain.

If you want to run networking on a PDP, you have 3 choices, that I
	know of.

	-- the BRL gateway software, which turns a PDP into a packet
		passer.
	-- Ultrix-11 from DEC, a V7 based kernel with 4.2 networking.
	-- The CSS/Harvard distribution, available from Harvard and
		myself.
