The >chart on p.80 mentions net-2, and that it has a port to the >386/486, and the 4.4 lite distribution. The article is not clear that 386/BSD refers to Bill Jolitz port or BSDI. In Fact, since the article mentions BSDI and NOT Bill Jolitz one can assume that 386/BSD refers to BSDI. At any rate, I am still waiting on Peter (phs@netcom.com) to find out more about what he was thinking with respect to FreeBSD or NetBSD.
