[Tfug] simh on Linux -- where's bpf?

[tom ponsford]

Hi Gordon,

Being a FBSD user, I'm not completely familiar with the way linux 
handles it's packet sniffing/filtering. I recall though. that linux uses 
its own version "linux socket filter" (does that sound familiar?) which 
I think is structured similar to BPF.

Real Men, however, only run software on the real architecture god meant 
them to be run on!!!. Hah, you wont catch me running unix V5 on SimH, 
only a real pdp-11 with 54Kword of memory, with overlays. can you really 
appreciate how far we've come. But then again, I suppose compile/linking 
times can be cut down appreciabley.  LOL

Cheers

Tom
