I think you're mostly correct. We received our COM-ETH package prior to
the release of Domain/IX (ie. at SR8) and used it to talk to hosts (non-Apollo
hosts) on our local ethernet. When Domain/IX arrived we then had a choice
between using the BSD 4.2 implementation of telnet and ftp or the AEGIS
implementation (which we were already running). We stuck with the AEGIS
version because it was, by then, supporting subnets and our local ethernet
was being integrated into the MIT campus network. My understanding is that
SR10 will included the BSD 4.3 tcp/ip utilities and servers, and that they
will support subnetting, name servers, and other good things which help you
run in an Internet environment. From what I can tell from the sales literature
and pricing info, it looks like tcp/ip will be bundled with SR10, even as things
like GMR become unbundled from the OS.
