Due to the number of replies, I can't mention everyone who did respond;
it'd double the size of the article !! Thanks very much !!
The addresses are 177170 (777170) and 264 (both in octal of course); I
want the rx.c driver from what several people sent. So much for formatting
them online ... Also, the 'rxreg.h' file is missing from the standard BSD
2.9 distribution; someone has already offered to send one to me. The same
person also says that the distributed rx.c doesn't work quite right; he's
gotten one that originally came with BSD 2.8 to run, however, and is also
sending me that.
Again, thanks to all of you !!
