Missed the reply all on the phone. Phil Karn had KA9Q in the 80s... It is mentioned on
Wikipedia... Don't know much more. PPP might be better than slip.

I read the sources to see the TCP/IP support was
there (that's the bit
about adding Berkeley Sockets). I see nowhere that it's excluded for the
non I/D machines, but haven't tried it first hand. I got interested not
because of the PDP-11, but because I have an old Rainbow that recently
started running Venix (v7-based version) and was trolling around for some
way to do TCP/IP to it (though w/o readily available ethernet cards, I'm
not sure it is a viable project).
Boy is the memory going. What was the TCP/IP implementation people
ran on DOS to do connections over serial lines? Could that be found
and revived for such a system?
