While the basic 4.2 functionality is there, some of the mechanisms are different. Also, it was never actually ported to the 2.9 kernel and doesn't compile or run. The 2.9 that I and some other people are offering has roughly the same networking -- but it works. The only way to get true 4.2 networking on a PDP is to buy DEC's Ultrix for 11's, or wait until we get it done. On the other hand, I agree about UNET.
