Re: [TUHS] 4.1BSD Networking

Hello all, recent subscriber to this list...but some might recognise me. I'm currently fighting (and mostly succeeding) with getting a pure 4.3BSD-Tahoe install rolling in a VAX simulator (all my tape drives are currently nonfunctional or I'd fire up a real II or III). Still in the middle of compiling (I know there are easier ways...but I like the feeling of doing it purely "from scratch"...feels more historically accurate). Anyways, while waiting for the compile I ended up with a working 4.1c installation and I began poking around its source tree (I also did a little bit of poking at the CSRG discs). I stumbled upon the fact 4.1c supports the DMC (which SIMH git now emulates!) and I see it's also still in src/old on some versions of 4.3 (I wonder if it'll still build...). Looking at the source is immensely confusing...does anyone have any knowledge/notes from the time period/documentation that will help me with my little experiment in archaic networking? I might just be tired...but the berknet configuration doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. (There's also the fact my grasp of C is minimal). -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs
