The Linux TCP is not a precise implementation of any of the "pure" BSD
algorithms. Its several iterations of some slightly different algorithms
(which naturally enough we think are superior ;)).

If you want to test actual tahoe, reno, newreno then you need to do it
on the BSD code base. That is the only codebase which truely had those 
TCP setups

Since V7 now seems to have been published by SCO^WCaldera I'm not sure
if that has freed up the old 4.2/4.3BSD releases you would want.
