	Thanks for vote of confidence in my/our abilities <grin>

	It'd also leave room for 1 or perhaps 2 user processes (well, ok -
	perhaps 3 or 4 on a maxed out 4mb system).  Ouch.

	Amen to that.  2.10 was a great effort by Keith and Casey.  The system
	was just too cramped/limited for my needs (had to support 3 DH-11s, 
	etc) so at that point (~1987/88) I jumped in and with some helpful 
	hints moved the networking out into supervisor mode.

	Right.   The two "official" FTP sites for updates/patches to 2.11
	are FTP.IIPO.GTEGSC.COM and MOE.2BSD.COM.  No FAQ (yet) though.  But
	with the increased interest in 2BSD I'll put a FAQ on the TODO list
	(something stay on there for a long time - 'round tuits' are in
	extremely short supply these days;-)).
