We ran into the same problem about a month ago. We hadn't bothered with the
network stuff, and when I tried it I found we were missing these files. I've
tried mailing Berkeley but had no reply.

Would some kind 2.9 person be prepared to send them to me too? I'd be
most grateful if they'd e-mail me.

	I've heard that the original 2.9BSD from Berkeley was incomplete
	and not really fully implemented.

	I suggest getting a copy of Keith Bostic and Co.'s version of
	2.9BSD (seismo 2.9BSD).  It has a very good (complete) version
	of TCP/IP.  I had two 2.9BSD/CSS systems networked and talking
	very nicely with 4.[23] systems.

	Keith and Co. have done a great job with 2.9BSD!!!  Porting
	4.2 networking programs to 2.9BSD/CSS is very easy.

	contact Keith Bostic   seismo!keith  to get the distribution.
	(I believe you have to send a copy of your license).

	Hope this helps.

	Mark

If anyone wants to send me mail, I will be glad to send them the
missing files.  Just list the ones you need.  On the other hand,
the networking as originally distributed doesn't work, and it takes
a fair amount of effort to make it work.

It's performance is quite good.  Right now it runs on 4-5 ethernets,
Pronet and a few other things.

2.9BSD has never been in the public domain.

If you want to run networking on a PDP, you have 3 choices, that I
	know of.

	-- the BRL gateway software, which turns a PDP into a packet
		passer.
	-- Ultrix-11 from DEC, a V7 based kernel with 4.2 networking.
	-- The CSS/Harvard distribution, available from Harvard and
		myself.
