	Indeed the 11/44 will work and very well with 2.11BSD.  Before the
	one at work got shutdown (RA81 failure and the support department here
	doesn't like PDP-11s and refuses to help fix it) the care and feeding
	of 2.11 was shared between a 11/44 (for UNIBUS related stuff) and a
	11/73 (for QBUS).

	The 11/84 and 94 will also work very well.  Qbus models from the 11/53
	on up will also work (the 53 hasn't actually been 'tested' but "should"
	work, the 73, 83, 93 are all known to work).

	While the 11/45 has the MMU aspects required (split I/D and supervisor
	mode) it doesn't support enough memory.  The 11/45 can only have 248kb
	of memory and a full 2.11 kernel+networking+diskcache+datastructures 
	setup weighs in at almost 400kb
