I suggest you now find a multi-port beer card, insert that into
a free slot, add /dev/beer to the kernel, and abuse it lots... :)

(rumor is, that 2.9bsd has much more space available for /dev/beer
buffers, though, so if 2.11 doesn't allow enough of it, just take
the plunge and downgrade to 2.9... ;-)

Well, that's kinda store-and-forward.  A bit dated, innit?  Why
not go the modern way and go straight for the splattering-type
mbdp?  For those who dunno: Multicast Beer Distribution Protocol.

One catch... given the kind of stuff we want distributed, we'd better
not have any (memory and/or session) leaks...

Well done Kevin,
I've never tried the route that you have gone down, always having had 
the luxury of distributions on tapes and a working tape drive.

Cheers

Robin

Needed to tell someone, so I thought I would tell all of you!

My PDP11/73 now has BSD2.11 installed and working.  I added a DEQNA card,
rebuilt the kernel and now ping, telnet, ftp et al is working.

The joy of telneting into my '11 from a Windoze machine is beyond words!

Many thanks to Warren, Fred and Joe for all the help and advice.

Regards


Kevin
