IP/TCP for 2.9BSD on 11/34

There is very little hope of getting IP/TCP into a 256K machine
and doing anything else. We at one time crammed IP/TCP into a 256K
PDP 11/45, but using UNET, not Berkeley's implementation, and little
else would fit at the same time. Since 2.9 has a 200K+ kernel with
IP/TCP turned on, the 11/34 is too small for the job.
Using the CMC or Excelan IP/TCP cards might be a solution, since the
networking code is resident on the card's own memory. But face it;
the 11/34 is too small for UNIX today.
