A friend of mine in SNU(Seoul National Univ., Korea) is grappling
with 2.9bsd network.  They received the distribution from UCB a few
months ago.  While they were installing it, they found some header
files of tcp/ip missing.

So, here is some questions on the matter.  I would appreciate it
if you give me any answers to them.
Thanks in advance!

1.  If they get the missing sources, can it be installed without
    severe problems ?  Then, can you send me the missing files ?
    (Here is the list of missing header files:
	/usr/include/sys/
		ecreg.h, emreg.h, ilreg.h, mbuf.h, protosw.h,
		socket.h, socketvar.h, unreg.h
	/usr/net/sys/net/
		css.h, dmc.h, ec.h, un.h, vv.h
    )

2.  If you are using tcp/ip on 2.9bsd, can you tell me about 
     its performance and its overhead ?
    And what type of device is used on it ?

3.  What's the most recent version of 2.9bsd tcp/ip in public domain ?
    
4.  Where can they get the source, and how ?


Thanks.

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.
