[TUHS] Unix with TCP/IP for small PDP-11s

[Henry Bent]

There is absolutely TCP/IP in Ultrix-11.  This is an emulated 11/23+:

It has trouble talking to the outside world, probably not a big surprise,
but works just fine on my local network.  I am working on getting it
installed in a real 11/23 but the Ultrix RL02 driver doesn't seem to like
my Dilog emulation board.
