Thank you for the valuable information.
It seems like v7 unix will be the way to go. Perhaps i can get some uucp
connection going over a serial line out of the machine, that could be
interesting.
I found this page, and it confirms what you said about 2.11 bsd, not
compatible with the 11/34 cpu.

On the same page, there is mention of 2.9 bsd, and the 11/34 is listed as
compatible. Is tcpip availible in this version?
No. 2.9BSD does not have TCP/IP. At least the distributions on TUHS don't
have it. 2.10 is the first one I can find with TCP/IP.
Ultrix 3.1 does have TCP, but it's not the most stable system when you
use it. It's kinda sorta 2.9BSD with some of the networking bits glued in.

Thank you again for the helpful info.

7th Edition Unix would run on either machine, and will support multiple
serial terminals. BSD 2.11 needs split I/D space, which the 11/34
doesn't have.
If possible too, id like to be able to telnet in
to unix or bsd.I was
also
curious if a ethernet interface exists for my
unibus systems, or if i
could
SLIP/PPP serial to another machine,so i could
telnet in as well as use
dumb
terminals.
7th Edition has no Ethernet/TCP/IP capability. BSD 2.11 does.
