Hope this is not to OT (it's about OS, not hardware...)

I've come to posses an install floppy set for AT&T SysV UNIX v2.1 r4, but
absolutely no documentation. After trying to install it on about 10
different machines, I found that it settled in happily on (of all things) a
Compaq ProlineaMT 4/33 (now u/g to P83 Overdrive and 32MB of RAM). That
part is fine.

Unfortunately, without documentation or even an HCL, I am pretty much in
the dark. I managed to install all of the packages, but there is no
networking support to be found.. ditto for C compilers, none to be found
anywhere in the system. Now since we all know that C and networking are two
fundamental tenets of UNIX, how might I proceed to get this box networked
and on line? Sine none of the networking commands are installed (no ping,
ftp, telnet etc.) I assume that the entire TCP/IP networking package was an
option.. same for the C development package?

Could someone provide docs, guidance, or just the wise advice to drop this
project all together? :)
